Rallye Le Béthunois 2025 + VHC - ES8: Riez du Vinage 1 - all cars, double pass (raw footage)

A first pass on SS Riez du Vinage, the middle stage of the Sunday loop from the 47th Rallye Le Béthunois / 24th Rallye Le Béthunois VHC.

This stage is a looped stage, so all competitors pass here twice.
We have actually been to this location before, in 2020, but then the stage was called
Le Turbeauté. Cars also did 2 'laps' back then, but only the second pass was through this hairpin, on the first pass cars had to go right at the corner before. Maybe that also explains why some cars mistakenly turned the wrong direction over there. :-)

For the start order of the cars in the video, see https://www.ewrc-results.com/entries/... (VHC) - for the modern rally, see ffsa link below and click "ordre de départ" and select "ORDRE ET HEURES DES DEPARTS DE LA 2ème ETAPE".

The cars drive more or less in order of classification after the first day, cars that retired on the first day can restart and are positioned in between or at the end.

SS Riez du Vinage is 10.53 km long.
