Rest Stop The Pit Stop is the destination at the end of each racing leg. If you're running an Amazing Race in a single day or session, you just need one pit stop. Teams will arrive to the pit stop, which will be indicated by a mat (see designs section). Each team must come up with a "raceroutes" strategy to determine where they should park their cars when they get to the rest stop. Then it's time to see who the next season's winners are! The Amazing Race uses the term "rest stop" to describe what others call a bathroom or a gas station. There are several rest stops along the race route that allow teams to refuel and take a break before continuing on their quest. During each rest period, teams can eat food sold by local vendors or purchase some items from a convenience store. After completing all eight races, the last team to check in will be eliminated. Teams that finish first at individual legs win new cars for their team. If two or more teams qualify as winners at a given leg, then they may also receive bonus prizes. Leg wins don't necessarily mean that these teams will win the entire race, however; they might lose one or more subsequent legs if they finish behind another team. The only way a team can win the whole thing is if they win every single leg.
