Keep on Racing Legs Penalty?

<< < (2/3) > >>

They've changed the distinction between double Legs (TAR6-10) and the Legs with zero hour Pit Stops that are being used now that are, again, non-elimination Legs without penalty.

I know. I meant that while these legs are a little different (now there is a prize for team number 1) from the TBC legs of old, the difference is not significant in my book.

Wadsy:
I think all Keep Racing legs should have a penalty, at least the ones that are counted as separate legs from TAR18 onwards.
When you think about it, that team is getting a free pass really.
Prior to TAR 18 and Season 32, these are counted as one long leg (the way I preferred it) and therefore there should NOT be a penalty.
I already posted how much I loathe KOR legs being counted as two legs and wished it never happened in the first place.  :groan:

Penalties for the last team would limit that possibility. I don't think whether it is early or late in the race even needs to be a deciding factor.

Also, there is still no significant difference between these and the TBC legs of old. They are simply counted differently by Phil (for no apparent reason).

I was going to say a penalty however after reading this I understand why there is no penalty. If they wanted to make the last place team have a penalty one they would have already done it and two they would just have a non-elimination leg. Also, what was the S18 leg 1 production fluke (kinda upset that I have been a superfan for at least 2 years now, and haven't known this)?

This is exactly why I can't stand KOR legs being separate. TAR6-10, 14 and 32 perfected this as there were no penalties and nothing felt out of place.
