Stage lengths and times vary - although they are now generally much shorter and more uniform that in the past. At the last WRC round in Catalunya, the winning times on the 19 special stages varied between 5 and 12 minutes - 8 minutes is not a bad average for a WRC stage. There are stage results and stats from thousands of rallies on the amazing eWRC Results website: https://www.ewrc-results.com/

The ten minute penalty is in addition to a nominal stage time - usually the fastest time for the car's class. That's slightly different to how it's done with slot rallies at the moment.

Your last chance to watch a full WRC rally this year is Japan (10-13 Nov) - £11 for full coverage on the WRC+ streaming service.
