I know China Rush didn't do so because of trouble with passports and visas. And China Rush (especially S1) was supposed to propagate China, not just travel around the world.

People don't be mad at me but I think reason they haven't visited in USA and Canada is because they're not as interesting as Asian or African countries. And USA is hard to get in too! Latin America is maybe considered too dangerous :duno: But some TAR-like shows have visited in western hemisphere like French Pekin Express and Finnish Reitti 44.
SuperTux:
How many RBs could a contestant of the team perform? I thought it was 6, but in some seasons some contestants performed 7. Is it legit?
Prophet:
That's been somewhat of a debate over time. I am not sure that anyone knows the actual rule if there is one.
What I do know is that no one has ever done more than 7 and that they are always allowed to do at least six. In TAR13 when there were only 9 roadblocks Andrew did 6 and Dan did 3. This seems to rule out a 50/50 rule. There have been many occasions where one member did 7 so 6 is not the absolute rule. Although it did seem that in TAR18 they attempted to force each to do 6. A +/- 1 rule would fit all of these cases as well, so maybe that is the main guideline.
(This is all from TAR7 on)

The answer is 50/50 at this point. It can change season to season just as certain rules are adjusted each year to make things more competitive. It has basically been 50/50 for sometime since Nate (I believe) did them all for his team seasons back. Sometimes during the course of the Race production will let u know how RB's are to be handled. For example, most recently a rule change has occured whereby teams who are on a self-drive task are not allowed to just hire a taxi to follow. Now teams can essentially follow each other but they cannot simply get in a car and not have to navigate to some extent.
