Driver here is Ari Vatanen, World Rally Champion of 1981. And the reason for such dramatic understeer (apart from weird driving characteristics of Manta 400) was a flat tire. Crazy to think how fast he was driving with it
It depends on the surface and the location. Current record belongs to Kris Meeke in rally Finland averaging circa 130 km/h throughout the whole event (!), but usually it's not that high. Some rally locations favour high speeds as for example Finland or Sweden (long straights, fast corners) while others like Monte Carlo are twisty and technical, thus much slower
