German Fan Driving Tractor to World Cup in Russia

A 70-year-old German fan Hubert Wirth is hoping he can reach Russia to enjoy the World Cup on a 30kph tractor within 10 days.

Though the 1920's-era Lanz Bulldog tractor is slow, he is banking on the old adage 'slow and steady wins the race'.

His tractor, which he has nicknamed Bulldog, is decorated by World Cup symbols and a sign that says "Hallo, Moskau! (Hello, Moscow)".

The tractor's appearance is similar to that of a beer van but it’s actually a house on wheels.

The championship is coming, on 14th June the World Cup will begin in Russia.
