Watch This Van Get Involved With A Multi-Car Drift… And Fall Over
Vans generally don't make great drift machines, but this one wanted a piece of the action anyway. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go to plan...
There’s a reason most pro drifters don’t use vans. Despite the sight of a slab-sided workhorse skidding around a track being one of life’s great under-appreciated moments, they’re not usually very stable.
In fairness, this hilarious trip by a blue Mercedes Sprinter wasn’t actually its own driver’s fault. The car leading the multi-vehicle drift got it all wrong and spun, causing a bit of a pile-up. The van, third in line, hits the nose of the spun car and simply flops onto its side like a chubby seal who’s had a tough day.
The action, filmed and uploaded by Eunan Neddy, took place at the brilliantly-named Nuttscorner Raceway in Northern Ireland over the weekend. Let’s hope the valiant Sprinter is back in action soon.

I was there, can confirm, it was hilarious
That is a nice ford sprinter!
Funny but its nof vans’ fault😂😂
That’s a Ford Transit!!!!!
Don’t blame the van. Blame the crappy drivers ahead of him who blocked the track with their own wreck. It wasn’t the drift that tipped the van, it was the impact into the stopped cars.
Drifted a few vans, never rolled one.
Crasho Drifto!
