Judging by the green grass and leaves on the trees most of that video was a while back. Plus it's been closed since early/mid November for a number of sections getting new pavement.

This is old footage. It was snowing at the Nordschleife yesterday, and the track has had construction work ongoing for about a month:

STOP calling it a Manta Ray. Horrible name for a car.

Other than the middle of the clip when it's various SUV's on the edge of being crashed, a really cool greatest hits video...
C8, Bugatti Chiron, ZR1's, McLaren Senna, Ferrari 488 (Pista maybe?), Lambo Aventadore and Huracan, Aston Martin (DBS maybe?) etc...
And the new Z4/Supra

Can we stop using this horrible "Manta Ray" name?

Why not call it "Giant Squid" or "Killer Whale"?
