Aerial imagery: Google Earth, and the imagery providers credited on screen in the film.
Through the central passage of the Brandenburg Gate at the loudest point of the race, and out into 351 m of wide, quiet road where the finish gantry never seems to get closer. The Gate stands at km 41.8. The line is not there.

| Berlin LoD2 city model (LoD2-DE Berlin, CityGML)Geoportal Berlin / Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung, Bauen und Wohnen · City | Buildings | LoD2 - modelled roof forms, no facade texture | Datenlizenz Deutschland - Zero - Version 2.0 (dl-de/zero-2-0)Zero-2-0 waives attribution as a legal condition; we credit Geoportal Berlin anyway.The source CityGML carries no ParameterizedTexture at all - the buildings are untextured by design, which is why facades are procedural and the orthophoto is projected top-down only. Six 1 km tiles cover the Phase 1 scene block. | Cleared | |
| Berlin true orthophoto 20 cm (truedop_2023)Geoportal Berlin · City | Imagery | 20cm/px | Datenlizenz Deutschland - Zero - Version 2.0 (dl-de/zero-2-0)Attribution is not a legal condition; we credit Geoportal Berlin anyway.This is the ground texture for every low pass: a true orthophoto, so building lean is already removed. It is projected top-down onto ground and roofs only; nadir imagery holds no facade data. The vintage is part of the layer rather than a detail of it. Berlin serves each flight as its own WMS layer, 2023 is the one every frame is drawn from, and it was chosen for the season: it is the only leaf-on flight, and the sun in the renders is solved against the light already baked into it. A later vintage is a different photograph of a different summer, so the credit names the year.
