be sure and watch closely folks he is only going to do this once.
An exit ramp would have been nice to have but then it wouldn't have looked like something out of the Keystone cops or the three Stooges

My kidneys hurt just watching that... but something tells me it was an unmanned drone.

I believe you are correct if you look at the very top of the start ramp you can see some standing there it is only a brief glimpse as the gif starts with the car already nearly at the bottom of the starting ramp, Also if you look closely at the ramp and runway you can see a raised center proton this would indicate guiding rails.

Of course it is unmanned vehicle, they made some sort of guiding railways...plus starting ramp..

THIS INSPIRED "EVIL KNIEVIL". He said "I can do that but I will use Goodyear Tires."

Right velocity. correct run up & angle of ramp etc.

The prop building looks like one in an earlt John Wayne movie : it survived hundreds of incidents.

I could be mistaken, but that footage looks a lot like something I saw on TV when I was a kid 60+years ago when watching Saturday morning cartoons'
