Actually it's not the same, Curt says that speeding means a 17.5 time penalty...

Yet Solberg got caught speeding so badly he lost his drivers license, and he still managed to stay in the top times with only 1 m36 or so to the leader.

So unless Solberg's co-pilot is extremely good at driving, better then the WRC pilots are.. or there's different rules at play between Curt's event and Solbergs event. And as such that 17.5 minutes is not a FIA rule, Solberg didn't get that penalty.
