Why have so many finales been decided by the random antics of cabbies?! Gary and Mallory were taken out of contention from the beginning because their's could not find the way. Flight Time and Big Easy lost the lead they had been maintaining the whole time when their taxi just left them. They never regained that time margin they lost by searching for another cab.
Obviously the key ingredients for winning a TAR finale are racing hard and being lucky enough to get a competent cab driver. :lol:
Like I say every year, why won't WRP make finales self driving?!?! (:;)
--- End quote ---
I'll vote for self-driving for 1 million dollars!
Caelestor:
To be fair, Gary and Mallory really should have gotten out of that cab when they knew something was up. One important thing on the race is learning damage control to minimize unlucky delays.
Still hate Sterling though.
Prophet:
It's hard to make the decision to get out and hope you can find another free cab going down the highway.
I just really think that in the finale they should eliminate those kinds of variables.
Zack.:
I can't agree with letting teams self-drive on the last leg. You'd likely have reckless driving caused by the sleep deprivation, lack of knowledge about the area, and huge incentive for being fast.
Hired drivers, however, I think so.
Prophet:
That is a good point that I hadn't thought of, Zack. I suppose WRP doesn't want to be responsible for crazy teams who could drive recklessly for the million dollars. :lol:
The cabbie issue has happened too many times though.
