Askip, I think you are off by one day.

Teams reached the pit stop in Asunción on the afternoon evening of December 1. Then I think they had a 24+h break to start again in the afternoon of the 2nd. They then fly out on the morning the 3rd of December:
  PZ 716 ASU-GRU 04:15-07:01
  AZ 675 GRU-FCO 17:15-07:31+1

Which puts then in Rome early on the 4th. Then they diverge and the first seven teams take:
  AZ1413 FCO-TRN 09:20-10:48

While Mark & Bopper fly:
  AZ1429 FCO-TRO 10:20-11:42

The early flight was slightly delayed and the later flight got in ahead of schedule so Mark & Bopper were less than 1h behind upon arrival.

Teams where then observed when they reached Phil in Turin in the afternoon of the the 4th.

I am inclined to agree with your correction of the date of departure from Paraguay from Dec. 1 to Dec. 2. It appears from double-checking that the Paraguay leg would have started on the morning of Dec. 1. That means it finished the later afternoon of that day or the evening. With a greater than 24 hour pit stop in Asuncion, based in my opinion of desire of World Race Productions to make sure Art/JJ did not get too far ahead, that puts their departure on the early morning of Dec. 3. All flights you show were as I indicated (although the actual departure and arrival times were actually slightly different) except that Mark/Bopper do not face the cancellation of AZ1429 and can arrive at close to the expected 1150am arrival, only 54 minutes behind the other teams. With my earlier work for the day earlier, the problem that did not make sense was that they would have been 2.5 hours behind and could not have logically gotten within sight of Kerri/Stacy at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile.

Jimmer:
Where do you find historical flight data?

Jimmer:
Flights look very interesting to Germany, if they fly to Munich, Bavaria, Germany and IF there is a standard 12 hour pit stop.

Sunset in Turin on December 4 (the day of Leg 4 pitstop) was 1648.
From Sunday, we can tell Art & JJ and Dave & Rachel checked in before sunset.
With a 12 hour pit stop they have a chance of getting on December 5 flight
    LH1905 TRN-MUC 0645-0825
The flight after that is
    LH1895 TRN-MUC 0835-1000
with the chance of Joey & Danny, Vanessa & Ralph, Nary & Jamie, and maybe the others (with the exception of Mark & Bopper) depending on what time they checked in.
The flight after that is
     LH1897 TRN-MUC 1305-1445
For sure this is the earliest flight for Mark & Bopper they can make with them checking in well after 10PM.
The flight after that is
     LH1899 TRN-MUC 1705-1845
if Mark & Bopper do not make the above flight.

I hope this helps everyone!

About how to get to Germany from Turin. Could teams perhaps self-drive? Let us say they are released in the morning of the 5th and then drive to Germany where they encounter an HOO so the actual leg takes place on the 6th.

This would cost a day, but teams would be bunched and production could get some wonderful pictures of the teams driving through the alps in winter. And we do see that teams self-drive in Bavaria.

According to Google the driving time from Turin to Neuschwanstein Castle is about 6 hours.
