Can RALPH slacker Christian Ferreiro get ready for work at 270km/h?

Our deputy art director has time management issues. "The bus went the wrong way," he’ll mumble one day, crawling through the door late, bleary-eyed and unshaven.

We decided it was time to see if he could get his act together doing a Jim Beam Hot Lap around Eastern Creek with Supercar driver Steven Richards.

Eat breakfast – FAIL
Shave – FAIL
Look like a tool – PASS

Supercar driver Steven Richards talks life in the fast lane.
How fast do you go when you’re racing?
Our fastest speeds at Bathurst are over 300km/h.

You try to go to the bathroom before you go in the car and hope you don’t have to go until you get out of the car.
