Note 1: In leg 3, all teams except Carlos & Eduardo (who took the Fast Forward) completed the roadblock together and were assessed a 30 minute penalty. Therefore, that roadblock is not counted.

Note 2: Jorge & Sílvia and Milene & Jaqueline took an illegal shortcut by driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street. Both teams incurred a 25-minute penalty and departed for leg 6 in 5th and 6th, respectively.

Note 3: Andréa & Luciana arrived 5th, and were assessed a 30 minute penalty for being marked for elimination and not arriving 1st. Only Patrícia & Sane checked in (approximately 10 minutes) before their penalty ended, thus falling to 6th.

Note 4: Jorge & Sílvia arrived 3rd, but were assessed a 30 minute penalty as they were "marked for elimination" and did not arrive at the Pit Stop in 1st. They were not, however, assessed the whole penalty as Jonatas & Rafael checked in 4 minutes before the penalty ended.

Note 5: Perri & Maristela refused to complete a task in the final leg, which resulted in their elimination halfway through the last episode.<ref> Last episode of the Million Dollar Race (official website recap, Portuguese)

  • Red means the team was eliminated.
  • An underlined blue means the team was the last to arrive at a pit stop in a non-elimination leg of the race and was thus "marked for elimination," meaning that if that team did not place first on the next leg, they would receive a 30 minute penalty.
  • Green ƒ means the team won the Fast Forward clue.
  • A yellow > means that team chose to use the Yield; < indicates the team who received it; <> indicates a leg where the Yield was available but not used.

Notable events

General

  • The race follows the rules from the American version's tenth and eleventh seasons. With the exception of the Intersection, all clue types are retained in the Brazilian version, as well as the non-elimination penalty. This race also differs from the original format in that while teams leave the pit stops in the same order they arrived, the time differences are not always respected. The penalty for not completing a Roadblock is also shorter.
  • Route markers are colored yellow and green, reflecting the Brazilian national colours, as opposed to yellow and red in most other versions.
  • The race lasted 33 days, and teams travelled 15,000km.<ref> Team stands out in first Millionare Race episode (Portuguese)

In-Race

  • In Leg 2, Jonatas & Rafael took a roadside penalty of 25 minutes for breaking the speed limit on the way to the pit stop.
  • In Leg 3, all teams (except Carlos & Eduardo, who took the Fast Forward) took a 30 minute penalty at the pit stop for having both team members perform the Roadblock task together. Perri & Maristela and Jorge & Sílvia realized their mistake before finishing the task, but received the penalty nonetheless. This did not affect the final placements for the leg.
  • In Leg 6, while driving to the pit stop, Andréa & Luciana were held up at gunpoint by three men at a stoplight in Fortaleza. The team did not lose anything, but the criminals took the camera and all personal documents from the crew, and ran off as gunshots were fired by the police. Two of the men were later caught and identified, and the camera was recovered. This incident dropped the team from 4th to last place, and no time credit was given for the situation. Part of the robbery was filmed and shown in the sixth episode.<ref> Reality show contestants are mugged during filming (Portuguese)

  • In Leg 10, all teams (except Jorge & Sílvia, who took the Fast Forward) gave up the Roadblock of eating 2kg of meat, and took the 3 hour penalty. This did not affect final placements for the leg.
  • In Leg 13, Perri & Maristela became the first team to quit the race in a final leg, after refusing to perform the first task.
  • A number of legs featured tasks based on those performed in recent seasons of the American edition. Namely, the meat-eating Roadblock in Leg 10, shoe-shining, and carting books to Chile's Library of congress in Leg 11 were similar to tasks in the seventh American season. Leg 8 featured both a spy-seaching Roadblock and a music-themed Detour similar to those in the eighth and tenth American seasons, respectively.
  • Contrary to other Amazing Race versions, the eliminated teams did not make an appearance at the finish line. Additionally, this is the first route whereby the race did not end in the same country as it started.
