The Quint also received several requests to verify this claim on its WhatsApp tipline.

But...?: The claim is false.

• The clips are taken from four different videos, which have been on the internet since 2019 and are likely from China.

How did we find out the truth?: We ran a reverse image search on some parts of the video, which led us to clearer versions of the first part of the video, showing bike stunts.

• The oldest of these clips was uploaded on 28 November 2019, with a caption in Chinese.

In one part of the video, we noticed text reading 'MX'.

We noticed an orange board reading 'MX'.

• Using this as a keyword, we looked for more videos of 'MX bike stunts 2019 China'.

• On YouTube, this search led us to a video titled, 'Moto X Best Whip | X Games Shanghai 2019' which showed similar ramps, sponsors, and events as seen in the first section of the viral video.

• Following the same steps for visuals showing a tilted, moving car with a person standing on it, we found a similar clip shared on a YouTube channel on 22 October 2019.

• As seen in this clip, these visuals were first uploaded by Chinese news agency Xinhua.

• We then ran a reverse image search on the next part of the video, showing a yellow monster truck flipping, with red stands in the background.

• This search led us to a Chinese website, which said that the visuals were from the 3rd China Automobile and Motorcycle Sports Conference in a 2023 blog post.

The image noted that the photo was from the 3rd China Automobile and Motorcycle Sports Conference.

• While we could not find the source of the video, a Facebook post by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) confirmed that such an event took place in 2023.

• We were not able to establish the source of the last part of the video which showed red-and-white cars performing stunts.

Conclusion: Old videos of automobiles performing stunts in China are being shared as visuals of recent shows in Singapore and Jodhpur.
