Okay, so I did review both the episode and the finale. When Art & JJ open their clue, they're told to head to Bavaria, not Austria. Essentially Phil just informs the audience, they're heading to this train station in Austria, then driving themselves to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria. Phil also mentions during the finale to the winners Rachel & Dave that they travel through nine countries (Argentina, Paraguay, Italy, Germany, Azerbaijan, Tanzania, India, Japan, and the United States), not ten. I don't know why Austria isn't considered as a country raced through by production, despite something similar happening to the Netherlands in the previous season.
