Leg 7 title
editWhy is Quebec not in Leg 7's title? Normally, when the pitstop of a previous leg is in a certain country/province, that country/province is always written in the next leg's title, even when there's a pitstop travel (ex. TAR16 France to Germany). Also, I think there are some international editions that travel between legs (France I think started some legs in the new country's airport, and the current chinese edition filming is not consecutive). So why does the previous countries are still in the legs' titles and not here? 76.64.189.186 (talk) 01:59, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
So leg 6's title was (Thailand -> Ontario & Quebec) for a couple of days, but it was reverted back. Can I please know why?
The fact that leg 6's title finishes with (... -> Quebec) and leg 7's title starts with (Ontario -> ...) doesn't go with the usual format (at least to my knowledge). Why not just put TAR16 Leg 5 (France) since none of it happened in Germany? Or TARFrance Leg 2 (Thailand) since they started the leg in Bangkok's airport?
Sometimes, when a leg focuses on 2 countries (ex TAR3 Leg 7), the format is (country A -> country B & country C). Then, next leg, the country where teams departs is written before the arrow. I found that a good compromise since they spent so little time in Quebec and they departed from Ontario.
I hope I'm clear. I tried to explain myself in the edit summary, but it just gets reverted without any explanations... :/ 74.12.153.199 (talk) 03:30, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
- The ampersand is only used in Leg titles when teams go back and forth in and out of a country. TAR3-7 was originally Morocco > Germany > Austria > Germany, and TAR25-4 was Scotland > Denmark > Sweden > Denmark. This is the reason they were shortened into the ampersand. However, that is not necessary here, because Leg 7 does not go back to Ontario. A linear progression of two arrows describes the leg much better than the ampersand does in this case.96.48.238.205 (talk) 08:16, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- But then Leg 6 and 7's title ends and starts respectively with two different provinces, which is not the format on the wiki TAR pages. Do you want to start Leg 7's title with (Quebec -> ...)? 70.26.226.57 (talk) 12:23, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, sure. 96.48.238.205 (talk) 22:12, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Route
editWow, this is the most convoluted route they've ever done! Zigzagging even more than usual for TAR Canada, leg 9 is jetting to the west for a third time.
If someone's going to map out this route, maybe it's best to wait until it's complete? :)
Face-Off Icon
editThere actually is a symbol that the show uses when the Face-Off tasks come up. It's an orange clue with two arrows pointing at each other. I'd add it to replace just putting the words (Face-Off) next to the location, but not sure how to add it to the Wiki. Mark RaceFan (talk) 16:20, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
