RE: #9 One Day, One Car
At these speeds, it's all about the pilot. It does not look like it but not everyone can reach 400 kmh without shitting their pants lol

It requires a lot of skills, but the engineering behind such records is astonishing.
We are literally hitting the limits. Drag, cooling, tires. All of this makes it very hard to go any faster. Putting more power to the wheels just won't make it anymore, that's why I'm so impressed by new achievements and records, because I know that a lot of thought has to be put into that, a lot of people has to work very hard to even make car go faster by 1 km/h.
If someone wants to know a little bit about the engineering behind Agera record (in 0-400-0 run) there is great video from Engineering Explained (great channel by the way):
