The 2026 Winter Olympic Games are on right now, and being racing enthusiasts, we’re all tuning in for the closest thing to car racing: the Bobsled events. Bobsledding requires inch-perfect collaboration between human and machine, the podium is often separated by hundredths of a second, and crashes can (and do) happen. Yeah, a bobsled is basically a car, and this sport is basically racing. Back in 2018 Subaru and Prodrive built an actual car with an actual engine, plugged rally champ Mark Higgins behind the wheel, and let him loose on the St. Moritz–Celerina Olympia Bob Run. Now that’s an Olympic sport I’d pay money to see!
