Looks real to me. If he's not steering in the direction of the turn thats called under steer something rear engine porsches are known for. Perfectly normal, his reactions to the turns look real except that some parts look speed up.

Thats the awesome Nurburgring in Germany. Anyone can turn up, pay 18 Euros which is like $20 for a lap, and get to see what you or your car is capable of..

It's real, look at the shadows of the sun as he goes through a corner... it matches the curve of the road.

I'll re-watch it later, but on the first run through it looked very inconsistent... Maybe I'm just too skeptical.

having driven a few I can vouch for that, the 996/997s arent as bad but 993s/964s/930s oversteer. I think the psm is all that prevents it on the newer cars. All that weight in the back

Oversteer understeer, its one of them but what he's doing is exactly how a porsche handles. The video is 100% real, i am just skeptical of the "video speed" towards the end

That is exactly what I was thinking. He doesn't have any safety gear whatsoever!
