Looks like "Flugplatz" to me, which literally means "Flying Place", so I see no reason to doubt it's authenticity.

actually looking again i agree, must be a fake.

there's only one place i can think of where you could catch air like that (where B8KOS says) and if you did you'd deffo crash afterwards

plus the scenery looks all wrong. i think thats just a normal part of the track

It does, but it doesn't have curb, so I think you are right. I am even thinking that the car is not going in the right direction?

As in a photo of the track has been taken and then the car superimposed, but facing the wrong way on the track?

The view through the car would distort the fence post - Looks real to me. See no reason to doubt it.

mike is flugplatz the one just before the fast right after the long straight, or a few corners back after the bridge just before a right?

Flugplatz is the hump after the huge compression (downhill / uphill bit) before the fast right before the "straight" before Foxhole etc.

It's there, but it is set back and there is a high verge and no curb. The lack of curb gave it away to me, and the fencing doesn't start until the top of the compression, where you can see this follows it down.
