Hi,
I grew up in New Delhi and can confirm that it is indeed New Delhi in the pictures below. The car has been correctly identified as a Tata Indica. The board on the roadside is a Delhi Traffic Police divider. The numberplate on the Indica starts 'DL', suggesting a Delhi vehicle. The speculation that the pictures were taken on the way out of India is most likely correct.
Cheers!

I will go back and check the Indian Railway schedules, but assuming last time that they might take a train from Lucknow to New Delhi on to Jodhpur, the train ride from New Delhi to Jodhpur took 11 hours (those trains are not the fastest in the world!) And talking about trains if the train left Lucknow at 7:00PM and arrived in Jodhpur at 9:00PM, this was the same time that the train leaving at midnight arrived. So perhaps the producers had a special car attached to the train leaving at 7:00PM and it was switched over to the direct train somewhere along the way.
I want to go back to the first show and see just what Phil said about this trip; did he actually say that the race was around the world? or just that it covered 40,000 miles and went through four continents?
And we are just assuming that the intro pictures are correct and that the team will go on to London.BUT could they just be making a small hicky back to Istanbul, and then will fly directly to Vietnam, Cambodia, or even Australia for the May 3 show? This would get them around the world.

Port Antonio, Jamaica. Consistent with a final three spoiler.Trident Hotel,
UK. We didn't have any other spoilers indicating the UK as a destination. Also, these could be recycled shots from season 3. However, the only destination in that leg actually in London was the Tower Bridge and it was edited out of the episode. The race moved immediately on to Cambridge and Aberdeen, Scotland. With the amount of new footage in the sequence, it seems likely that this is also new and we can expect the UK to be a stop.
EP1
Phil: In just a few minutes, you'll be leaving on a race around the world. Separated into legs. Various tasks. Cash to cover expenses except airline tickets. Eight pitstops are elimination points. If you're last, you'll be eliminated. Your first clue, waiting inside the envelope atop your luggage. When you get the word, get the clue, and run to the cars in the parking lot. The first team to cross the finish line wins $1 million.
Amazing Race 7 Preview
gingerman28:
This is from the TVGuide.com preview of TAR7:
"This season, the show has definitely gone back to its roots. There are a lot of photo finishes, and there are a couple of new twists and turns that will really engage people. For example, teams that come in last place will face new consequences that we haven't seen before."
Format changes aside, Keoghan cites casting as the main reason for this season's success, starting with the biggest names, Survivor winners Rob and Amber. "They stirred the pot up quite a bit," he laughs. "Some people were surprised by the choice, but just to be clear, they came to us about being on the show. We didn't go and find them."
Not everyone on the race was pleased to see them, either. "Right from the beginning, there was quite a bit of animosity directed towards them. I can't say they were warmly embraced. This was a totally different experience for them. I think they were quite surprised by the speed of the race. On Survivor, they're used to not eating and talking a lot. There's no real downtime here."
In addition to Rob and Amber, Keoghan says fans should keep an eye on a few other teams. (Click here for photos of them all.) "There's Ron and Kelly, a dating couple," he says. "He's a POW who was shot down in Iraq and was in the news for quite a while. There's also a married couple, Uchenna and Joyce. Both have worked for companies that went bankrupt; both have had financial difficulties in the past and both are absolutely desperate to have a child. They really came into this race to win. A lot of teams come on for the experience, but this team is there because they want to win the money and use it to have a child. There's a real focus there and you don't see that with a lot of teams."
Interesting to note that Phil talks about "new twists and turns" Does he mean the race takes a 180 degree turn back on itself? But in the very first ep he talks about a race AROUND THE WORLD. So where do we go next?
Also it is interesting to note, and this was before the first program aired, that the three teams he talks about first and the mostest are Rob and Amber, Ron and Kelly, and Uchenna and Joyce. Is he highlighting the final three or is this just a coincidene? (But I never believed in coincidences) He obviously had these three teams at the head of his list of interesting teams. And he reiterates the fact that U/J are unemployed, and in need of big bucks for invitro proceedures. Again a hint that they indeed win the race?
But then we have those dang gone UK pix. And ApprenticeFan and his itinerary.
