I've been dying to see Hong Kong featured in the new intro I hope the MK shots mean they went there

Add: Cap 46 is more specifically on Shantung Street, with Ladies Market ahead (attached image from Google Maps Street View).

#64  "Las Nereidas" Fountain Buenos Aires

64 is the Fuente de las Nereidas in Buenos Aires.

#65   An old Citroën 2CV

44-45 are Buenos Aires.

65 is also Buenos Aires.

Sorry about that!  I should have looked back more carefully.

Can you place the Citroën in Buenos Aires?

[Alenaveda]

My bad, I shouldn't react with you that way.

About the Citroën... I guess is somewhere in the zone of the neighborhoods of Saavedra, Núñez or Belgrano. The graffiti on the wall corresponds to a third division soccer team, Club Atlético Defensores de Belgrano, that is located here:

https://www.google.com.ar/maps/place/Club+Atl%C3%A9tico+Defensores+de+Belgrano/@-34.5406031,-58.4635593,706m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0x240e9931ee5a38d2

That is the intersection of Del Libertador Av. and Cdr. M. Rivadavia Av in the neighborhood of Saavedra. Interesting is that if you go south on Del Libertador Av. you can find the Campo Argentino de Polo and the Monumento a España, spotted on the Intro and the Season Preview.

25-27 may be Pedra Bonita, Rio de Janeiro.

Using the same flight equipment.

[Slowhatch]

Yeah, I'm thinking the same; it's not much to go on, but the ramps look similar (original photo)(location). Didn't they do this in TAR2?

[georgiapeach]

#23-24 are the rafts seen crossing the Zambezi river at the Zambezi River Lodge, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.

Spoilers here: LINK

[Jeff_]

Didn't they do this in TAR2?

Yes, the same location and I believe the same task.

[Neobie]

Was taking a look at the passport stamps:

We've got stamps from Hong Kong, Macau, France, and Brazil, but there's also a Schengen visa and a German exit stamp, probably collected when flying out of Schengen through a German hub?

The most prominent date is that for Hong Kong, with an entry stamp dated 19 Apr 2015, three months before the racers passed through. Might have been a production run.

Slightly strange that they got passport stamps for Hong Kong and Macau in the first place; I thought they discontinued stamping passports back in 2013.

[Jeff_]

36 is Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Monumento a la Carta Magna/EL Monumento de los Espanoles.

What did we decide last time about these? I was thinking they were not a real match...

[theschnauzers]

The producers collect visas for more countries than are planned, and this would include backup legs that they may need to use during filming. We cannot assume that Hong Kong Macau was planned as leg 11, it may in fact have been one of the backup legs for which a visa sheet or stamp was required for the Racers' passports.

[theschnauzers]

)n an unrelated point -- the soundtrack of the theme for the intro is yet another new variation with percussion/cymbals being quite prominent in the sound. I've lost countof how many, but IIRC, this is now the fifth variation we've had of the theme music.

Always remember Chuck & Wynona outside the travel agency in Vietnam reading all the stamps until they found the correct one (Botswana) that allowed them to enter the place and book the corresponding tickets.

[Candi Lee2]

From E
But that's not all! We also have a bonus treat for fans of another long-running CBS reality hit, The Amazing Race. Another group of eleven teams will jet-set around the world, gathering stamps in their passports as they hope to win the $1 million prize, and you can see them all—plus some of their destinations—in the main titles for season 27.

[Slowhatch]

#59 This is Overwaard Molen #1, part of the Kinderdijk complex southeast of Rotterdam. The white railing, the orange and brown rooftops and the window configuration on the "molen" look the same. If you turn the camera around here you can see it's at the entrance to the museum. (Boingo had this upstream, just adding the camera)

[claude_24hrs]

If you didn't know with those caps, numbers 42-43 are rock near Urca beach in Rio de Janeiro, and 51-52 are Delta Airlines plane at Terminal 5 of Los Angeles International Airport, the plane itself preparing to leave.

[Boingo]

... Got it! .....   

#3  RER B (Airport Shuttle) train (Paris), possibly at the Charles De Gaulle Airport station or less likely Orly Airport (known as OrlyVal train).  Takes you to central Paris.
