With so many version i will be so freaking confuse...

Actually i'm not that interesting in TARA4 and China Rush... i haven't even seen TARA3  

I will stick to TAR17 and TARLA2... and hope to don't get so confuse....

By the way... It's has been a lot of controversy about the chosen teams in the facebooks pages, because they said that are too many teams from Mexico 2 (TARLA1) and 3 (TARLA2)...

Acording to the casting videos and fans of latin america these are the confirmed teams...

Susana (or Susy) & Stefany (Mother&Daughter) Peru
Omar & Roger (Friends) Venezuela
Jose & Marietta (Dating) Colombia
Mariana & Mauricio (Siblings) Chile
Lili & Antonio (Married) Mexico
Carlos & Mauricio (Brothers) Mexico
Jelkin & Javier (Dating) Dominican Republic
Vinícius & Guilherme (Friends) Brasil
Marlene & Aleandra (Friends) Argentina
Marisol & Esteban (Married) Colombia
Edison & Edison (Father&Son) Mexico


The ones in Bold are 100% Confirmed teams...
I was wrong about Marlene and Aleandra... thats her name it's not Alejandra...
I wish i know why the guy who put that information only know 1/2 of some of the teams...  :duno:

well...yeah, just compare the populations of the countries in Latin America. Mexico is second only to Brazil.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Thanks for the update, vitoko. Can't wait for the show to start  :jumpy:

Regarding the number of teams from a certain country, if it's anything like TAR Asia, the more sponsorship coming from a country, then the more teams selected for that country (this is what a past TARA racer told me). Maybe this applies to TARLA as well?

I really don't think so, Visa, Chevrolet and Nintendo were the principal sponsorship, and they all are very known world wilde...
But we probably never know...

Guys someone post this on facebook...



It's the Pit Stop of Guatemala, acording to the dress of the greeter and the board behind Harris
It's looks like Marietta&Jose and the most important in the background you can see Marlene&Aleandra it looks that they are waiting for a penalty, I think...
