    These speeds are from GPS, not the real telemetry

    ,,it's the driver'' is the reason, not the lack of Fiesta's power..
    Even if they have that top speed through lobg gear ratios, rallies are not won on just high top speed.

    I want to see these sections with telemetry.

    For sure 2022 is a different story, nothing to do with the Fiesta WRC current form.

    Don't be ignorant and use your head. It's not that difficult to get the point.

    If all WRC reach RPM limiter the top speed means nothing except how long gearing which team selected.

    It tells nothing about the engine.

    And he leads the rally. He chose better gearing clearly.

    In the past it was quite common that the highest top speeds on long on straights were achieved by Gr.N Lancers. Does that mean they had better engine than WRC cars? Of course not. They only had some 3000 RPM left between peak power and the RPM limiter.

    What are you 5 yrs old or smth?
    Ofc it's gearing what's affecting the top speed the most.
    You have automotive engineer explaining things to you and yet you choose to go to full ignore mode. I'm in awe to see such stupidity
