TAR 33 ORIGINAL PRE-RACE Speculation (dates/cast/routes)
TheRabbi:
--- Quote from: CoriSanchi on November 18, 2020, 11:20:22 AM ---Just some speculation about what the route could have been. This is based off of an interview from Bertram in which he said they were going to South America, Vietnam, and Austria, and from a crew member that contracted COVID who said they were going into northern Europe and near Italy.
United States --> London, England
London, England --> Glasgow, Scotland
Glasgow, Scotland
Glasgow, Scotland --> Riga, Latvia
Riga, Latvia --> Vienna, Austria
Vienna, Austria --> Nha Trang, Vietnam
Nha Trang, Vietnam
Nha Trang, Vietnam --> Wellington, New Zealand
Wellington, New Zealand --> Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne, Australia --> Montevideo, Uruguay
Montevideo, Uruguay --> Sucre, Bolivia
Sucre, Bolivia --> Indianapolis, Indiana

Northern Sweden was confirmed as leg 4, because Bertram said he made the cancellation call while he was there waiting for contestants.
My guess would be Austria leg 5 (per Bertram), Italy leg 6 (per that one crew leak if you consider that as acceptable evidence), then maybe a double leg in an African country for legs 7 and 8, and then South America legs 9-11 before the US finale. The one crew leak said they were avoiding Asia entirely. As for Bertram's Vietnam leak, I have no idea how both Vietnam and South America could be done on the same route if the first 5-6 legs are all in Europe. Yes, I know it is technically possible, I just don't see it as likely at all. Since they are well familiar with the Vietnam production company that helps them on location, maybe the company just knew they were filming 33 at that time and was checking in to see how they were doing and if they were planning on actually finishing it - I don't know, just speculating.

Are we sure he meant Vietnam for 33? Maybe they were planning to go there for 34 and the person they work with in the tourism ministry called to talk about it? Another possibility is that they’ve already planned to change the route.

Regarding about the destinations have been suspended due to the pandemic, I would guess Sweden (Leg 3) after Scotland and Tyrol region in Austria (Leg 4, which include a Pit Stop across the border in Italy); with double legs in Africa (5-6), Asia (7-8; which include Vietnam) and Australia (9-10), and a penultimate leg in South America (probably Chile or Peru) before the final destination in the US. It could be a 6-continent race hasn't seen since TAR 11.
As I mentioned earlier in above post, Australia does have a direct flight to South America either Qantas (non-stop) or LATAM Chile (direct or via Auckland, New Zealand).
Just my opinion
georgiapeach:
Sweden was Leg 3 I believe... But there was def time for another leg inbetween So I canot be sure.
Could someone rewatch the video and see? Seems IRC that BVM said Leg 3... ???
We had someone on site, we watched the set up. Sad day when it was cancelled.

The problem with starting or ending in Australia or NZ is that you’re at lead a ten hour flight from any other big airport and there are very few flights from them to the US. IMO going through one of the big airports in East Asia and working your way down makes more sense to cut back on another long flight. You could either go from Australia/NZ to somewhere in Africa if you’re going West or South America if it’s east.
Although, there will be a couple more US to NZ routes over the next year as things get back to normal.
