I'm finally watching TAR11, even though I have barely seen TAR2 and TAR3. :nut:
Anyway, despite there being bunching points and multiple flights for the 1st 3 legs, Charla & Mirna, David & Mary, and Kevin & Drew (until 2nd leg only) arrived 8th, 9th, and 10th respectively on the first 3 pit stops. One thing I noticed is that these 1st 3 legs are full of self-driving and navigation, despite there being mid-leg flights. Now I can finally see so much importance in self-driving!
:pray: for so many self-driving legs on the upcoming seasons. :jam:
P.S. Even though I checked the Wikipedia page, I'm so surprised as to how Rob & Amber ended.
Platrium:
In the US version, Dustin & Kandice are the only team to encounter the intersection twice. Each intersection had a fast forward which they chose not to take.
toanglobal:

Brazil
International versions usually have more F/F teams than M/M ones in fourth season, but this is inversed for US version (US season 4 had 5 M/M and only 2 F/F)
toanglobal:
TAR Norge 1 had 13 legs, but only 3 teams win a leg (Morten & Truls, Karim & Khabat both win 6 legs and Catherine & Michelle win leg 3), conversely TAR France, TAR Canada 1 and TAR ANZ have 10 legs each but, 6 teams win a leg for each seasons (If Vanessa & Celina beat Jody & Cory in leg 9 pitstop, this number increased to 7)
TAR Asia 2 if you counted as 12 legs, three teams would win a leg, but if you counted as 13 legs (Leg 5 superleg), four team would win a leg)
