Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!
toanglobal:
TAR 21
7 teams on the first flight were not the same with 7 teams who completed rappel down the 10-story Colorado Street Bridge task
No self-driving car leg(s) occured until F4
Genius:
1. As of TAR27 Leg 4, all countries starting with the letter Z (Zambia and Zimbabwe) have been visited in the US version! This is the 2nd letter where all countries have been visited, after the letter O, which only had 1 country, Oman. :cheer:
Just 1 more for the following letters...
F - Fiji (Finland and France visited)
J - Jordan (Jamaica and Japan visited)
Q - Qatar (There are no other countries starting with Q. Q is one of 2 letters which 0% of countries have been visited.)
R - Rwanda (Russia and Romania visited)
Y - Yemen (There are no other countries starting with Y. Yemen is just too dangerous to be visited.)
2. If you arrange all UN member states in alphabetical order, the first 6 countries have yet to be visited in the US version. They are Afghanistan (0% chance), Albania, Algeria (nearly 0% chance), Andorra, Angola and Antigua and Barbuda. Of all countries visited, Argentina is the first.
RaceUntilWeDie:
TAR U.S. only
A successful U-Turn (U-Turning a team behind you) will eliminate a team on Legs 1, 4, 9, and 10.
toanglobal:
TAR 14 is the only season in US version has three different all female teams won a leg, TARVN1 is the only season in history has 5 MM teams win the leg
NMC:
In the US Version, Season 27 marks only the 2nd time that 6 Teams made it to Leg 9, and held the 6th Place Elimination.
The only other Seasons to have 6 Teams reach Leg 9 are TAR Aus 2, & Asia 2 (Although I don't really count this as their were 13 Legs)
TAR Aus 2 is also the only Season to have 7 Teams Race in Leg 8.
