Maximum speed attained during the race for both the cars may be different. For e.g.

$\begin{matrix} C a r 1 & C a r 2 L a p 1 & 150 k m p h & 120 k m p h L a p 2 & 150 k m p h & 180 k m p h L a p 3 & 150 k m p h & 150 k m p h A v e r a g e s p e e d & 150 k m p h & 150 k m p h \end{matrix}$

Here, the maximum speed attained by car 1 is 150 kmph and by car 2 is 180kmph where the average speed of both the cars is 150kmph.
