Frozen Rush 2016: Extreme Car Control Or 900 Horsepower Button-Mashing?
Frozen Rush 2016: Extreme Car Control Or 900 Horsepower Button-Mashing?-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:35

The Red Bull Frozen Rush returned for 2016 this month, pitting a handful of maniacs against each other in 900 horsepower racing trucks on the ski slopes at the Sunday River. Funniest thing I’ve noticed about snow racing; it’s hard to tell the difference between crashing and driving.

Frozen Rush started up three years ago, and Red Bull has managed to keep convincing some of the country’s best desert racers to come back to New England in January and put some fresh dents in their vehicles.

Maybe the paycheck’s good. Maybe there’s just something extra awesome about putting all that power down to tires with spikes in them.

Red Bull TV has on their site, but the coolest way to watch might be on race winner and longtime Red Bull flag-flyer Bryce Menzies.

Those of you who own TVs will be able to watch this thing go down on your fancy big screen on NBC January 30, 1:30 p.m. EST as part of the Red Bull Signature Series.

Until then, here’s a massive heap of highlights to watch while you put off shoveling! Some of you are still shoveling, right?

Stay frosty.

We got some quality time with star off-road racers Bryce Menzies and Ricky Johnson at the Red Bull…

Porsche Junior Is My New Favorite Nürburgring Nordschleife Conquerer
What, you thought I was talking about a ? No, no. I love Carrera Cup as much as the next 911 fanatic, but think older. I don’t know if it’s the jet lag or what, but there’s nothing funnier in the world right now than Walter Röhrl setting a Nordschleife...

McLaren P1 VS. Porsche 918 VS. LaFerrari: See How Each One Takes On The Track
Check out this 2,740 horsepower showdown between the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, and Ferrari LaFerrari on the same race track in the same conditions. It might not be elite driving, but seeing what these cars can do in “consumer spec” in the hands of their actual owners is kind...

I'm At The Nürburgring And It's More Awesome Than I Could Have Ever Imagined
“That’s really the team that got me into sportscar racing,” I said at dinner, pointing at Allan McNish’s table behind me with my fork. Then, of course, I realize that holy crap, I’m pointing at the Audi LMP1 team with a chunk of dead cow, and that’s exactly how surreal...
