All updated to the best of my knowledge. WHat colour is Zac/Laurence? (on the race)

Team color? Black.

Like teams are assigned colours right? for the race and they typically wear that colour during the race.

It has to do with the bandana on their bags.
Chateau d If:
Even before my visit to Copenhagen last week I had already spent one day there with my teenage son the previous summer.
Continuing the Led Zeppelin motif
Such boys cannot be bothered by anything cultural or historic. The one and only one thing he spotted and actually said "Let's go see THAT!" was the Vor Frelsers Kirke
It really does stand out!
And this is at the top:
So I went there again to make some inquiries: Various staff on hand confirmed that Racers were there on July 4th. :tup: It turns out that the date is easy to pin down because there was a massive deluge rainstorm the day before in Denmark. And everybody remembers that day. The Teams had arrived the night before and parked their cars in the churchyard. So it looks like it was a big Hours of Operation Equalizer. (:;) (:;) Probably designed to obliterate any lead gained by Teams finding the fastest flights out of Malawi.
Video of climbing at the top:

And just because it usually matters, the official number of stairs is 319. But I counted 235 steps indoors and 147 steps outside. :duno:
Chateau d If:
One of the benefits of going on a bike tour of Copenhagen was the discovery of a classic TAR Pit Stop scenario!
Queue the music: Pirates
BTW the bike tour was this one: Bike Mike and it is the first thing you should do if you ever visit Copenhagen!
Remember this TAR6: Af Chapman
Directly opposite Copenhagen's new Opera House is Larsen's Plads. This is a street along the water like the French quai.
Street view here.
Well, on this plads there are three classic old sailing ships. And yes, that is the Vor Frelsers Kirke in the background!
The three ships are the Lillian Dan, the Halmo, and the Havet:
I went up to the ships, asking if anybody saw any filming going on Larsens Plads on July 4th, the day after the big storm, I got a mixed response. Some sailors said "yes", some said "no". The timing of the sightings was afternoon into early evening. But the "yeses" pointed to the place where I got the "no" so by process of elimination, the Havet would be the Pit Stop. Nobody could ID the Teams so I have no arrival order :'(
Interestingly enough, it is the Havet that appears in the Google Maps Street View! :lol:

Just to add to Chateau's great photos.
These photos were taken in August 2008, then there were only two boats at that spot. The big dome you see at the back is Marble Church. It's very close to Amaliemborg Palace.
