Post Volvo Turbo Drifting Down on the Farm

Rickard Nilsson built a high-performance machine. Now, apparently Swedes are preparing "Fast & Furious 9: Gothenburg Drift".


Elsewhere, Sven was seen doing donuts this morning . . .

It takes a lot of hair to drift a tractor, considering the high cg, narrow track, etc. Out on the road, the total lack of a suspension and minimal brakes don't help either. Rikard is a brave man indeed!

Yeah, I think things would get real scary past about 30mph. Also my cousin's John Deere would pop a huge wheelie if you got the revs just right and dumped the clutch(ie no wheelspin) I'm guessing the increased weight on the nose of that tractor would keep you from such shennanigans though.
