The Winter Games are over. The flame has been extinguished, and Bob Costas’ eyes are all cleared up. But the OnAllCylinders Winter Games—the competition that asked you to pick gold medal winners in seven distinct automotive categories—still has some unfinished business. We have to award our medals. We opted to announce our winners after the Sochi closing
Before we wrap up the wildly popular OnAllCylinders Winter Games with our closing ceremonies, we’re proud to bring you the biathlon. It totally makes sense. It combines cross-country skiing with rifle shooting, which makes almost as much sense as doing a Winter Olympics spin-off about cars and trucks. But the spirit of the competition isn’t
Remember when the Jamaican bobsled team made its debut at the 1988 Winter Games? The team took the Winter Games by storm, because they were lovable underdogs and represented a tropical nation in a winter sport. Up to that point, Jamaicans fit in at the Winter Games like Miley Cyrus at a Billy Graham Crusade. People were captivated. The point is

Unless you like dudes in unitards chasing each other around in a circle, we think you’ll find the OnAllCylinders Winter Games version of short track more your speed. And when we say speed, we mean 6-second nostalgia Funny Cars, old-school cool Gassers, and late-model drag machines battling pass-for-pass for straight-line supremacy. While Sochi’s version of
What is the best-handling car on the planet? There are many ways to think about this. We settled on rally cars,and chose five that dominate that brand of racing, which we believe to be among the most-dangerous and daring anywhere in the world. With the more-famous Winter Games taking place in Sochi, Russia, we wanted
While most of the world turns its attention to Sochi, Russia for the next two weeks, everyone with a little 110-octane coursing through their veins (you and us) should keep our attention right here.
