--- Quote from: GB on October 10, 2015, 03:39:53 AM ---Pick a continent (Based on the traditional seven-continent system, mind you, and obviously excluding Antarctica), and make an interesting race route that only takes place in that continent.
I'd be interested to see North America in particular...

Since you asked so nicely:
START: St. Louis, MO, USA
Leg 1: to Havana, Cuba (if Vanity Fair can go just to take fashion photography then I see no issue with TAR)
Leg 2: to Hollywell NP, Jamaica
Leg 3: to Willemstad, Curacao, NA
Leg 4: to (Kralendijk to) Klein Bonaire, Bonaire, NA
Leg 5: to Copan Ruinas, Honduras
Leg 6: to Guatemala City, Guatemala
Leg 7: to Guadalajara, Mexico
Leg 8: to Phoenix, AZ, USA
Leg 9: to Napa Valley, CA, USA
Leg 10: to Prince Rupert, BC, Canada
Leg 11: to Banff NP, AB, Canada
Leg 12: to St. Louis, MO, USA
Balancing out the languages was kinda hard since I didn't want six legs in English-speaking or Spanish-speaking areas, hence trips to semi-rural Jamaica, the Netherland Antilles and Prince Rupert, BC (petition for First Nations representative Suzette Amaya to be greeter :luvya:). Somehow there's enough relevant locations for a drink-related final task lol
Platrium:
It's cool how we all picked different continents. :colors
Zack.:
Also another new challenge, this time with difficulty levels :conf:
EASY:
1. Must start and end in US with 12-13 legs.
2. For each country chosen as well as the Finish Line, find the last season that hosted a leg for it on TAR and note the season number. The total for your season should be less than 110.
For example, TAR 26 would be: 23 (Japan) + 19 (Thailand) + 22 (Germany) + 0 (Monaco) + 21 (France) + 2 (Nambia) + 21 (Netherlands) + 7 (Peru) + 5 (Dallas) = 120 and they could've easily had a leg in Slovakia instead of Bavaria.
Notes: a) only count places that had actual tasks or RIs (so Kenya is 0, notably), b) dependant territories should be separate from their home countries (Greenland, French Polynesia, etc) and c) separate the individual countries of the UK when calculating (though they're all pretty high so...)
HARD:
1) Start and end wherever but at least 2 continents.
2) Your route should have AT MOST 3 legs which take place in a country's largest city by population, with the exception of chartered transportation and microstates with only one "city" like San Marino or Andorra.
SERIOUSLY?!:
1) Make any sort of feasible route with St. Helena :funny:
