When this enchantment enters, each opponent sacrifices a creature or Vehicle of their choice. Each opponent who can't discards a card. {2}, Sacrifice this enchantment: You gain life equal to your speed.

Each player tracks their speed (or lack thereof) separately. Increasing your speed has no effect on whether another player has speed.

“Max speed — [ability]” means “As long as you have max speed, this object has [ability].” If the granted ability functions in a zone other than the battlefield, the max speed ability does too.

Your speed doesn’t change until a spell or ability says so, such as the inherent triggered ability that cares about opponents losing life during your turn. Notably, losing control of permanents with start your engines! doesn’t affect your speed.
