Maybe. But with both TAR and TARA squashing the same number of legs into a much tighter time frame of around 3 weeks filming, as opposed to 4, I guess that extended pit stops might be reduced in number.
Askip: Could you point me in the direction where I could find your latest timeline please?
Is it possible that an extra (unknown) leg could be squeezed instead of one of the speculated extended pitstops, or is it just too tight?
The more I look at puddin's summary on page 1, the more I question the Saigon sighting as part of TARA3. It just seems too tight, and too back and forth between Thailand and Vietnam. It would mean consecutively travelling to a different country every single day between the 19th and 22nd, which seems just a bit ott, even for TAR.
Beijing May 18th or 19th
Bangkok Thailand May 20th
Saigon, Vietnam May 21st
Chiang Mai, Thailand May 22nd
Hue, Vietnam May 25th
Hong Kong evidence May 29th
Macau - May 31st
Cochin, India (via Singapore) June 1st
But if we drop Saigon, then we need to squeeze in another leg somewhere else along the way. If the Racers spotted in Chiang Mai were on their way out of the country on the 22nd, I guess there is really only room for one leg before Hue (assuming 2 days per leg), and then another one before HK - [speculation - maybe Taiwan???]
When was filming believed to be completed? If there are only a couple legs after India, then the likely hood of them having headed too far out of Asia is low.
