SPEED is

               (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

The car's average SPEED is

                            (100 km)  /  (15min)

                      =     6-2/3 km per minute.


VELOCITY is  

             (distance and direction between start-point and end-point)
divided by
             (time to travel from start-point to end-point).

The car ended up at the starting point, so the distance between
stating-point and end-point is zero.

      Velocity  =  (zero) / (time to travel from start-point to end-point)

                    =  Zero .
