    If you have a 20mph head wind and you are going 100mph you have nearly twice the rolling resistance and three times the wind resistance compared to 60 MPH.
    At 240mph you have nine times the wind resistance that you would have at 60mph.
    That is why it takes so much HP to go an honest 200MPH!
