To begin with, the filming dates of all past TARCAN races except the first/non-international one have maintained a consistent pattern of at minimum 27 days:
- 2: 26 April - 22 May '14
- 3: 1 May - 28 May '15
- 4: 28 April - 24 May '16
- 5: 26 April - 24 May '17
Therefore, this season cannot finish prematurely in the next couple of days; instead, it will have a week to fly abroad and return.
