• Although, Venom GT has broken the record of fastest car of Bugatti but the place in the Guinness book of records will be retained by Bugatti only. 
• The record of Venom will not be entered into the record book because Hennessey has verified the speed independently and the car can only be driven on the NASA landing strip.
• To replace the record of Bugatti the book requires cars that run in two directions to account for variables including gradients and wind direction.
