The photo does not correspond with the all live footage (which corresponded with the tweet you posted earlier). Either the speedgun was wrongly calibrated or the wrc plus footage was wrongly calibrated (don't know what is the source of the data there but it's not GPS for sure).

Had an amazing event. First time (and probably last time) seeing these extreme cars on my home event, packed with action. Great shakedowns and good action on all 3 competition days. The WRC cars were stunning to see. I've seen these cars plenty of times, also in Croatia earlier this year. But seeing them on roads I know so well helped me to put in perspective how crazy they are. I think both crashes of Fourmaux and especially Katsuta could be some kind of warning, that these cars are probably beyond the limit for tarmac. The line between being in a position where you can see some action, and being in danger, is thinner than ever before. Fortunately there seemed to be less spectators than usual in Ypres. Rally2-category was a bit boring to see after the WRC cars, probably due to the big difference in the cars themselves, and perhaps a bit due to slightly weaker entry field (with all respect to those who participated). Nearly all foreign RC2-drivers were discovering the event, so there's not much more they could do. Also, sadly my prediction of at least 3 of the 5 WRC2-drivers going off became reality. The junior category was, very entertaining to see, despite a solid win from Armstrong who seemed to be more confident than anyone else.

Official speed guns like used by the police have to be calibrated very regularly to be truly accurate.

Martijn Wydaeghe said in a podcast after the rally, that the topspeeds on WRC+ are not reliable. He says that in reality, they go near the 200km/h.
