How fast do you need to go...?

    A car is on an oval race track. The track is one mile in length for one complete circuit. The driver wants to average 60 miles per hour for the duration of two complete circuits. However, after completing the first lap, he only averaged 30 miles per hour, factoring into account his start from rest and the time to cross the starting/finish line.

    How fast must he travel during the second lap so that his average speed for both laps is 60 miles per hour?

    The BBS has either gotten better at math or the people who were good at it to start with have gotten faster at jumping on shit like this.

    I need to go as fast as possible at all times, in every situation while operating any vehicle.
    Now, that's not to say I drive like a complete dick, just that I don't cruise around. And I'm not necessarily always in a hurry, just that I have better things to do than pussyfoot around while driving.
    You wanna go slow? Move.
    You wanna go faster? I'll move. (Doesn't happen, but whatever. I would...)

    Simple really.

    Chicken Dinner. In order to complete two laps at 60, he has to do two laps in two minutes. Unfortunately, after his first lap he's used up his two minutes.....only at trans-lightspeed will he be able to get that second lap under 0:00.

    how fast can the car accelerate? What are the tires inflated too? What's the coefficient of sliding friction? When was the last yellow flag? Is it a green white checkered? Is Danica a lap down?
