Video: This 15-year-old Irish lad is already a superstar on the pro-drifting circuit

Jack Shanahan is the Conor McGregor of the Irish motoring world

Jack Shanahan’s is a name to remember.

While it’s great to see any Irish mastering his field, when the person in question is just 15-years-old you realise you’ve got a prodigy on your hands.

This documentary follows Pro-Drifter Jack, his father John and his 11-year-old brother Conor as they go racing. They’re from Mallow in County Cork.

The dedication Jack shows is second to none, and his dad’s policy of “no work, no racing” keeps his feet on the ground.

Again, remarkable from someone so young. And Conor is following in his brother’s footsteps.
