Sounds like the *loooonnngggg* straight at the Ring, theres a huge
jump about half way down the straight, then at the end a sharp left
hander (although only a tap of the brakes is required here, not hard
braking?)

I think although this one is quite an experience the first jump after
uphill section which is followed by the third-gear righthander is a
bit higher than the one at Flugplatz, and much harder to catch because
the nose goes down first and you land with your rear wheels still well
up in the air...

Depends on how you take it.
I take it in 4th gear, and ease off while climbing.
I may also tap a brake if I feel like... d8-)

When I do angry laps, I just try it flat out -=8-()

At first I took it in 5th, just easing off at lift off.
But I had to scrape my ferrari off the fence to often. :)
Now I take it just about the way you mention Tadej, in 4th
easing off as I approach the top. Makes correct positioning
for the 3rd gear righthander a lot easier too. :)

Key to this thingy though is to keep the throttle on a bit,
to prevent the rears from biting themselves into the road
at impact. *After* touchdown, hit the brakes hard (I almost
always lock them up a bit - keywords here are *a bit* ),
to get that speed down as soon as possible. That way you
have time to get the car balanced for the righthander.
And cut that turn as short as possible (*arround* the
fence :) ).

In addition to the "flugplatz" (I don't know the plural), this could also be the
end of the straight at Mosport. Get the game, don't delay
