The Amazing Race Season 18 Episode 1 Head Down and Hold On

The Amazing Race 18 will be the first season of the American series to be broadcast in HDTV. [3] Although most of the other television in prime time rose to high definition, including other reality TV shows, past seasons of The Amazing Race have used the standard definition television because of cost and brittleness of high definition recording.

promotional plans show that the starting line of the race is the San Gorgonio Pass wind farm near Palm Springs, California.
