Just before the race got halted production, the race route for TAR 33 is supposedly starting at United Kingdom 🇬🇧 (England 🏴 and Scotland 🏴) - Sweden 🇸🇪 - Spain 🇪🇸 - South Africa 🇿🇦 - Mozambique 🇲🇿 - Thailand 🇹🇭 - Indonesia 🇮🇩 - Australia 🇦🇺 - Japan 🇯🇵; a 5-continent race as planned. No new countries (TAR 21, 22, 23, 24 and 29), just some countries would be undervisited as they visited in TAR one to two times.
Whether the 33rd race would be going back to production by late March or early April, the route will be modified from the initial eastbound route in England and Scotland, and through into the westerly route from Oceania and to the penultimate leg in Europe.

If this was real! Oh wow, Sweden, South Africa, Mozambique, Australia! :groan: :whoop:
Since this is totally incorrect perhaps best if we stop quoting it?
I ♥ TAR:
georgiapeach - What is your opinion about future of TAR33? Should we consider this season to be never finished with actual cast? That seems the most likely to me. Production is done with TAR as of now, right? No planning,casting, etc.
dryedmangoez:
They could still restart the Race on Leg 4 with the same cast. They wouldn't need to return to the originally planned route, of course.
But if it's just far too much trouble to reassemble the cast, they might as well just scrap the entire season. Keep it as TAR33 with a asterisk by it. Air (TV, online, wherever) what they have as some kind of special miniseries/documentary-style thing. And next fully-produced season will just be TAR34. (Which can still include the same cast or however many teams are available or are interested to return.)

I’ve been thinking and I don’t think it’d be that hard to reassemble the cast. They all just need to take a little over two weeks off work and that doesn’t sound too unreasonable. The hard part in my opinion would be planning legs 4-12 because they’d basically be planning an entirely new season from scratch
I ♥ TAR:
The best solution imo would be finish this season when it will be possible, with original available cast. Let's say in these 3 filmed legs 3 teams were eliminated.
8 teams remained... It's march 2021. No Coronavirus.
7 out of 8 teams are available for filming. These 7 teams will be continue to race...
Another 6 legs will be filmed.
No exotic countries, long distance flights, the motto is "finish it cheap".
5 legs in North/South America, 6th leg in USA.
CBS already spend and lost ton of money on this season. They could try to make at least some small profit of it if possible.
All what they should do is just finish this when possible by filming just 5 or 6 another legs.
