No. If you can drive around a ten-mile track in the same time it takes you to drive

around a one-mile track, then your angular velocity is the same in both cases. But

in order to do that, you'll need much higher tangential velocity during the longer run.

Tangential velocity is what you'd normally call your 'speed' as you blaze around the track.
