If you get the automatic U-Turn by finishing last in the start line challenge, at some point during the race you must U-Turn yourself and complete the other side of the detour.
The strategy question for the team that is burdened with the auto U-Turn is when do you use it? Right away when you may have a slight lead or hold on to it until the last leg? :duno:

Whether or not we have any evidence for this, I do like this idea and think it would make the Race very interesting.

It just has a beautiful symetery about it.
theschnauzers:
I'm not saying there's not more than one way to interpret what is known, but I thought I should lay out an alternate way that the new penalty might, I repeat might, work in practice.
But I agree we'll have to wait until we have more information than we have right now.
Coutzy:
If the team that receives this automatic U-Turn gets it in a later leg, and knows that its coming, it would make sense to also U-Turn a team at that point. If this is the case, it may be why Jamie and Cara end up U-Turned.
JETandCORDfan:
Either way guys, all of you have great speculation and ideas!
When all the episodes premier we will know!
Remember We are only a week away until the premier!
