I’ve always suspected that was the case, 185/190kph just seemed a bit slow for what I was watching.
Didn’t someone use a gun on Monte in 2017 and record something like 212kph? I’m sure as has been explained there is some error in that, but I doubt it’s 20/25kph error

I wonder if the displayed speeds on WRC+ are deliberately low so as not to advertise just how fast they really are going? I would imagine the new cars should have more top speed with more power and less aero drag…
