That actually does not sound familiar to me at all...

--- Quote from: ****zophrenic on January 20, 2018, 11:55:13 AM ---Trying to remember something from one of the early seasons of TAR. From what I recall, it was towards the end of the season (maybe 4 or 5 teams left), and I believe they were in Asia. At the end of a road block or detour (but not the pit stop), the route info card told them to go to a location in a city that was a few hundred miles away.
It was late in the day, and the teams quickly realized there was no public transportation that would go to that city until the next morning. A few teams checked into a hotel for the night, but 1 or 2 teams managed to separately hire a private driver, or a mini-bus, or ?? (some sort of non-public transportation) to drive them to the next location.
I remember reading an interview with Phil (or one of the producers) after the fact saying that they had to scramble and barely got to the location ahead of the teams, and had never guessed the teams would be resourceful enough to use non-public transportation.
This is not the incident in Season 1 where 2 of the teams were able to buy train tickets but Momily (and Guido?) got left behind and ended up hours ahead.
Thanks!

Maybe this was season 4 during the Sabah to Poring Hot Springs starting leg in Malaysia? ???

The only bit that sounds familiar to me is where production barely made it to the Pitstop before the teams. I'm thinking this was S11? ??? But as far as the rest goes I don't really remember anything like that. :duno:
Palperro:
Lately I've been interested in Russian culture and such and was wondering, which is the best TAR episode in Russia? I like the season 13 ones but are there others I should take a closer look at?
Marionete:
Leg 6 of TAR17 is probably my favorite.
