I've done a lot of towing with the transit and have to say they're great and able BUT and Here is the BIG BUT. It has been pointed out to
me that the ones we have used in the past few years ALL are FWD and as such the towing weight is around 1000kg. So for a trailer and race car your
breaking the rules.
See here for some idea of what I mean.

If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

some of the front wheel drive ones can tow a gross weight of up to ~2 tonnes - you need to look for the '330' models or some of the
'300' ones depending on the spec / size of the van

Yes they can, but best to be aware that for the size of van they are the can't all tow big loads legally. Even an empty trailer with a high
gross weight is a no no.
