[1] [2] Similarly, John Isner once hit a serve recorded at 157.0 mph (253.0 km/h) in the first round of the 2016 Davis Cup.

Each player starts with a car with a Start Speed of 40 mph, Acceleration and Deceleration of 20 mph, Top Speed of 140 mph, and 4 Wear Points. Each player has a pool of 5 points. [2] Using a pool of 5 points, each player spends 0, 1 or 2 points on each of those categories, resulting in: Start Speed (40, 60 or 80 mph) Acceleration (20, 40 or 60 ...

[ citation needed ] However, VR later limited the top speed to 210 km/h (130 mph), [ 3 ] since test runs require 10% faster speed than the targeted commercial speed.
The first high-speed run was planned for 7 March 1977, the day after Noble's thirty-first birthday.
