What do you mean time isn't everything? If you get from point A to point B in the shortest time, you win. Thats it, end of story. They don't award you bonus points for crossing the line faster.

And a better way to get average speed: distance divided by time. Unless one car spots the other a few lengths, they run the same distance. So the car with the quicker time also has the higher average speed.
