--- Quote from: gingerman28 on May 20, 2006, 11:06:45 PM ---First legs for TAR were as follows:

1.  Johannesburg, South Africa and then on to Zambia (Victoria Falls)

2. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

3. Mexico City, Mexico

4. Milan, Italy

5. Punte del Este, Uruguay

6. Iceland

7. Lima, Peru

8. Family Fun

9. Sao Paulo, Brazil

Brazil is the only country used twice in leg one.

Race started in South America 4 times; Europe 2 times; Africa 1 time; No. America (Mexico) 1 time

A race from East to West could start out as follows: to Hawaii, to Guam, to New Zealand.  This would pose no problems for the teams since all three locations speak English.  And the effects of jet lag are minimized when you actually gain time as you fly west.

I believe one reason for heading to South America is the weather.  For the races that start in late Fall in the US, it is early spring in the southern hemisphere.  Not as much travel disruption in warmer times of the year.

One could use Gman's excellent list and coordinate with starting dates.  Because TAR10 starts in summer, my guess is that they stay in the northern hemisphere for the first leg.

Kogs:
my guess for tar10 leg1 is either somewhere in mexico or ireland. thats just my total guess though  :lol:
