If they're going to do multiple legs in one country, I'd rather it be China than Burkina Faso...
Have they ever been to Singapore? That seems like an obvious choice for a stop, but I don't recall them ever being there. I also don't seem to recall much (if anything) in Spain or Portugal... |

Not to mention, they like to put both in the beginning of the race usually, which can add to the expense (see: flying 30+ people from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires to Sao Paulo to Johannesburg to Maputo in TARAS, flying 40+ people westward across the Pacific in TAR 13 or the clusterfuck when they allowed all the teams to find their own way from Sao Paolo to Cape Town in TAR2). Europe can be cheaper if they were smarter with race planning (multiple legs in Russia? Leg 2 and the beginning of Leg 3 of TAR14? Giving teams enough money to hire cabs everywhere in London? Not very budget conscious.) |

Just to mix things up they should start the first leg with "drive to Montreal" or something.

Both Africa and Oceania visited in season 2. First was Cape Town and Namibia. Later, the race visited 50-50 legs in Sydney, half leg in Coober Pedy and 2 legs
in New Zealand (Southern and Northern island).

Oceania is made up of Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. Hawaii is part of Polynesia. Covered!

Oceania is actually consisted of Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. Hawaii belongs to North America but it has ties with Oceania.
