The final test from the 4th Ypres Historic Regularity. Not a CRS (closed road stage) but a RT with this spectator area at a location that is also used for the Monteberg Rally (and also a part of the Ypres Historic Rally in 2021, since it was combined with this event in 2021). Since this was not on closed roads, competitors could be obstructed by other traffic as seen sometimes in the video. There also is no course car or finish car, the stage just starts and stops, so this video is a little "in medias res" but I guarantee that it starts and ends with the first and last competitor that did the test. :-)
To clarify, most of the tests in this event were actually RT's, there were 30 tests from which 'only' 5 were CRS (from which I recorded 4, don't be mistaken because of my videos :-)). There were about 250 competitive kilometres in 48 hours.

While the test was ongoing, suddenly we saw in the distance that car number 7, the Porsche 944 from Mario Varrewaere and Pablo Cracco, had gotten stuck in the mud next to the road.
While leaving after the stage, we took the same route as the competitors to go home. We had to wait a little and spoke to the codriver of the stuck Porsche 944 that was still there. Apparently this was only 1 km from the finish (we didn't know, we only knew the location of the spectator point since the stage maps are secret). He told us they had a very good day and it would have been their best result in Ypres, they went from P20 to P13 and were chasing P12 when this happened. We did not see it happen, they were first cought on the corner in advance and went straight, not expecting all the mud on the road. Then they reversed and not wanting to waste any more seconds, but not thinking about the tyres being full of mud, they had no traction at all and the car decided to go next to the road and then they got stuck definitively. (But if you look at it from the bright side, there's no damage and they did not miss out a thing from the event. Some other competitors were less lucky today...) Thanks for the talk, hope to see you again and that you can visit the end podium too next year!
And to all my viewers, also a big thanks for watching, this year has been really extraordinary for my channel! I managed to make some great videos apparently, sticking to my format however it is a lot of work (if I don't cheat and upload 'raw footage' like I did this weekend :-)), but I have the feeling the hard work from the years prior to 2022 has started to pay off this year, I think I'm starting to have a certain audience which is really great. If this is the first video you see, consider to subscribe if this format (all cars, one place) interests you! Hope to see you again next year too, after the winter break I will be back with fresh content from West Flanders, Northern France and maybe an extra event like the Eifel Rallye Festival I did this summer, which was really great to experience and also to reminisce seeing the number of views for my videos. Tasted like more in multiple ways! :-)
Enjoy this video!
