We've got a nice selection of International Amazing Race's from a number of countries and regions, but which country or region would you like to see get its own TAR?

For me, undoubtedly the answer would be Japan.

MrDeerShank · « **Reply #1 on:** January 06, 2015, 11:38:00 AM »

The UK needs one but it's chances are slim as shows with pre-recorded winners (save The Apprentice) are generally disliked here, it's the reason why Survivor UK got axed after 2 seasons

Declive · « **Reply #2 on:** January 06, 2015, 01:06:14 PM »

UK and Brazil, those two would be fine by me.

stekay · « **Reply #3 on:** January 06, 2015, 02:48:43 PM »

Definitely the UK and kinda surprised it hasn't happened yet :x

sveped · « **Reply #4 on:** January 06, 2015, 03:24:36 PM »

UK should have their own version. If they make their own version, I really hope they make a "Commonwealth Edition", where they visit countries that is member of the Commonwealth.

And also, a Scandinavian version would be awesome.

mjharmstone · « **Reply #5 on:** January 06, 2015, 04:31:04 PM »

We in the UK need one! Even if they just went around the Commonwealth, it'd be awesome.

TAR North Korea: They race around the country to show how prosperous it is and what a great country they live in, highlighting the positives and showing only the positives. Winning team wins 1,000,000 KPW but "chooses" to donate to the Great Leader instead.

Going to be a bit biased here and say New Zealand deserves it's own version

TAR North Korea must happen

dryedmangoez · « **Reply #9 on:** January 07, 2015, 05:38:08 AM »

Definitely TAR UK
And TAR Korea... South Korea, that is.

But really I just want TAR Asia to rise like a phoenix from the ashes.

Crat1 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 07, 2015, 03:22:41 PM »

I'd really love a scandinavian version of TAR.

And another season of TAR china rush would be awesome. I recently finished the first china rush season, and it was amazing!!

Nordic countries TAR (Involves Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden) would be awesome. The Central Europe TAR project should be revived as well. South Korea and Japan TAR is a good way too. TAR Australia should change its name to TAR Australasia so that it can include contestant from New Zealand and surrounding Oceanic countries.

I really agree with you here, a nordic version would be really exciting to watch. I'd love to watch japanese people wander around in different countries!

As much as I would like to have a TAR Argentina, after the trainwrecks that were both the Brazilian and Ecuadorian editions, I'm going to say "no" to the idea.

A Japanese and Korean version would be nice and funny (TAR Korea vs Japan). I love to see Japanglish and Konglish accent on them.

Spain! I want to be on The Amazing Race.

The Iberian version (Portugal and Spain) might be suitable for you. I hope the Iberian version have more budget to race around the world, not like the cheap Latin America version which is only race around SA and Caribbean Island.

sveped · « **Reply #18 on:** January 09, 2015, 07:51:02 PM »

A Russian edition would be interesting to watch.

It could be a China Rush(ian

) kind of version, where they traveling across Russia.
Or maybe a Soviet Edition, where they visit former Soviet countries.

It will just be an extended version of Running Man or maybe like TAR China!

Would be nice to see a season of pures Venezuelans around the worl..Or atleast southamericans but traveling outside southamerica..Going t oeurope maybe.

DetectiveLoke · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2015, 05:36:17 AM »

If there was The Amazing Race in UK, I wished Benedict Cumberbatch will be the host of the show (that means it will air on BBC One)!!!! If it's UK I think they will change the title of the show maybe like: "Super Race" or maybe something else (They also do that in UK like: Wipeout [Total Wipeout] and Project Runway [Project Catwalk]).

I wish there's The Amazing Race South Africa!!!

Vitoko · « **Reply #22 on:** February 08, 2015, 06:07:41 PM »

I really don't understand why TAR UK hasn't happened yet... really obvious franchise that could be really interesting...

Also I wish TAR Latin America would expand their limits to the rest of the world but it would probably called something else and be a side franchise different from the TARLA we know now.

toanglobal · « **Reply #23 on:** February 26, 2015, 07:42:54 AM »

or the amazing race Ottoman (travel around countries which was part of Ottoman Empire

DetectiveLoke · « **Reply #24 on:** March 09, 2015, 12:06:24 AM »

If there was The Amazing Race: South Africa, it would be great, and also travel around the globe.

BritishTARFan · « **Reply #25 on:** May 17, 2015, 05:04:36 PM »

I need Amazing Race Uk that would include Ireland

or maybe even and Amazing Race Europe that would be awesome. But I think we need an Amazing Race Monaco where they race around the entire country

naejae91 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 18, 2015, 12:18:18 AM »

TAR BRITISH ISLES would be a solution to include people from UK and Ireland.

TAR IBERIA could include people from Andorra, Portugal and Spain. This might be the budget version of TAR Latin America with a full race circulating the world.

TAR MONACO racing in Monaco would be a trainwreck to watch on TV though.

I expect they will have full international race with the very expensive and impressive route (British Isles/Italy/France/Nordic countries/German speaking countries Europe legs, Angola/Senegal/South Africa legs, Middle East legs, Singapore/Philippines/HK/South Korea/Japan legs, Oceania/Australia/NZ legs, US/Canada legs) since Monaco are generally rich.

How about TAR LICHTENSTEIN OR TAR SINGAPORE???

Keepcopz · « **Reply #27 on:** May 18, 2015, 05:37:04 AM »

I kind of want TAR:Thailand so I can apply.

But think again, it'll likely be a complete trainwreck. Since I think it will be very bad idea as the budget can probably only cover to travel around Thailand (and maybe boundary like Malaysia/Laos/Burma/Cambodia) and it'll full of drama like every reality show in Thailand.

Portugal and Spain are broken, how would they have more budget than Latin America?

NMC · « **Reply #29 on:** May 18, 2015, 02:25:32 PM »

Like everyone else has said TAR UK / Ireland would be incredible - Not being biased or anything ....... **Shifty Eyes**

But all joking aside, a UK version is probably unlikely due to all the security measures UK & Ireland nationals face when entering Non-European countries, mainly Visa issues.

Theo · « **Reply #30 on:** May 18, 2015, 10:15:37 PM »

TAR Indonesia. God, just a race around the country will be sufficient since it can also promote our tourism. I am not asking much.

Additionally, I think Indonesia is great at making dramatic reality show (I really enjoy the first and second season of Masterchef here), so TAR Indonesia will be really great. I don't even mind the product placement if it happens.

Platrium · « **Reply #31 on:** November 29, 2015, 07:25:24 AM »

TAR Scandinavia is interesting in my opinion. Having racers from 5 countries is not too much and not too less.

TAR UK is cool, simply cool. They could do a UK vs Ireland in a few seasons after I guess.

TAR Europe will be interesting if possible, and so will TAR America, which will include racers from NorthAm, SouthAm, CentralAm, and the Caribbean.

I'd also say TAR Antarctica, but…

If I were to dream, TAR: Through Time and Space would be incredibly amazing!

dryedmangoez · « **Reply #36 on:** June 02, 2019, 09:33:17 PM »

I still say TAR UK and TAR Korea.

Korea's TAR would most certainly be celebrity teams, especially K-pop idols. But then that would kind of limit where they could go since they'd get recognized in a bunch of countries. Especially the typical places TAR visits lol
