11th to 7th (Maria & Tiffany; Bill & Cathi)
9th to 3rd (Chris & Bret)
8th to 6th (Bopper & Mark; Misti & Jim)
7th to 2nd (Caroline & Jennifer)
6th to 1st (Jet & Cord)
5th to 3rd (Tara & Joey)
4th to 1st (Brooke & Robbie; Evan & Henry)
*mainly because I don't feel like checking the rest of the seasons lol.
Biggest Improvement for KOR Legs (only accounting for Season 18 onward)
11th to 3rd (Jet & Cord)
9th to 5th (Kent & Vyxsin)
8th to 4th (Nicky & Kim)
7th to 4th (Liz & Michael)
5th to 2nd (Kristi & Jen)*
4th to 1st (Amy & Maya)
*this is if you count Kristi & Jen checking in 5th as opposed to 3rd. Otherwise, the "record" would go to Bill & Cathi but they still came in 5th the next leg.

Biggest improvement I think pre-season 12 is TAR10 David & Mary where they went from 7th to 1st, but that was with their petroleum fire Fast Forward. Without the FF, I think it's Chris & Alex from TAR2 with their 6th to 2nd jump.

RaceUntilWeDie:
Brendon & Rachel made the F3 twice and never had to deal with a final memory challenge.

--- Quote from: Genius on May 10, 2019, 11:46:01 AM ---I believe Colin and Christie have the record for most consecutive legs finishing in the top 4, at 15 legs for now (TAR5 Leg 3 to TAR31 Leg 4)
The current record for all individual racers is Eric at 17 legs (all 13 legs of TAR9 and the first 4 legs of TAR11). Or 16 legs if you count the uber leg in TAR 9.

17 consecutive legs now for Colin and Christie! They now have the record! :conf:
(Although I am slightly disappointed that they only have 1 first place as of Leg 6. In TAR5, they already had won 3 legs.)
Has any team come in first place in the same city/country in two different seasons. Colin and Christie were 1st back in TAR5 in Dubai but did not repeat the feat in TAR31.
