This one is small mistake, but in season 10 in Finland episode, Tytyri mine was called Tytyrin mine in all titles and subtitles of the episode and Phil also says Tytyrin. I understand where the mistake comes from: Tytyri mine is "Tytyrin kaivos" in Finnish which means Tytyri's mine or Tytyri mine. Just small mistake but as a Finnish person it annoys me :snicker: (well, the racers' pronunciation of Lohja and Tampere annoys me more :P)

The longest known Pit Stop occurred during the first US season when production was forced to relocate the Pit Stop in Tunisia due to a sandstorm. This was the first instance of a "mobile pit stop", which also appeared in Seasons 15, 16, and 18 where teams have been transported to another location during the pit stop, without any knowledge of their final destination.
Found that on Wikipedia... idk if it's true or not. Does anybody have any information on that??

The article is referring to the Pit Stop of TAR 1.5, which had teams check in at Ksar Ghilane in the Sahara. Phil did a voice-over at the beginning of the next episode saying that teams were moved because of an impending sandstorm, and that they would be released at Gabes, the nearest big city. Unlike future "mobile Pit Stops", this one was not anticipated by the producers. I'm not exactly certain how long this was, was it a 36h or a 60h Pit Stop?
Other instances of teams beginning in a different city from where they finished:
TAR 3.9: Teams checked in onto the Savoie docked at Montreux, and during the Pit Stop the ship sailed to Lausanne along the coast of Lake Geneva.
TAR 15.2: Teams checked in onto the Bassac III docked at the market at Cai Be, and during the Pit Stop the boat sailed to My Tho along the Mekong Delta.
TAR 16.5: Teams checked in at Hamburg, spent a night at a local hotel, then travelled the following night by bus to Les Monthairons in France. Teams in this case did not know their destination.
TAR 18.2: Teams checked in at Broken Hill, then travelled that very night by train to Sydney. It's likely teams knew where they were going in this situation.
And of course, there are plenty of instances (especially in more recent races) where the Pit Stop mat has been moved around town in between Pit Stop and Pit Start, usually to in front of the production hotel. Examples in TAR 17 alone include Doryumu, Hong Kong and St Petersburg.

Neobie, according to the timelines that were create for TAR 1 after that season aired (with information from the Racers that season) the longest pit stop appears to have been the Bikaner pit stop in India leg 2:
--- Quote ---Day 16 (3/23): Danza arrives just predawn. Everyone else gets in early or mid-morning, market Roadblock, cab travel, check-in at Taj Khema pit stop from early evening onward [Lenny/Karyn eliminated].

This followed extended pit stops at the end of the second leg in Paris due to illness among the cast and crew (24 hours); and after the first India leg (extra 24 hours). IIRC the pit stop release in Gabes was extended more than 12 but less than 24 hours:
--- Quote ---Day 11 (3/18): Leg 5: Predawn departures for Tatouine. Walkie-talkie Detour at Ksar Hadada. Desert driving, 2-3 hours, camel ride Roadblock. Check-in starting midafternoon at Ksar Ghilane (oasis) pit stop [Paul/Amie eliminated].
Day 12 (3/19): Evacuated to village (Gabes), Leg 6 departures starting soon after midnight. Taxis back to Tunis, hotel. Extra 24 hours at hotel (per Guido, airport difficulties).
Day 13 (3/20): To Tunis airport. Flights out through afternoon and evening, connections from Lyons or London or Geneva (or not), arrival in Rome...
