I've been watching through the onboard material in WRC+ and there are some really fast sections in this rally... During the 18 stages of the rally Latvala had average speed higher than 120kph in seven (7) stages. Fastest avg was 125,1kph (on SS9). These averages with quite many chicanes and/or junction go-arounds + the "plastic traffic sign sticks", so in reality some section averages would be really high.
I'm not saying it's too fast, but at some sections it is quite crazy, to be honest. I tend to like a bit more twisty and technical tarmac roads. Or atleast less straights on stages, SS10 had a nice small road section, but even there were quite many long straights (over 150m).Last edited by Juha_Koo; 5th October 2014 at 23:27.

Or maybe Hyundai was quite slow because of the high speeds? Sordo admitted they need more from the engine. In Germany there were more twisty, narrow, slow sections witout much top speed, unlike in France.

I give my personal interpretation: maybe it's due to his circuit's background
he tends to brake very very late and then slam the car into the corner...sometimes the car is still non balanced (when he is still in the corner) and he is already flat-out...an approach typical as he has downforce from the car...an area where wrc lacks vs circuit's racing cars
