Due to the excessive number of curves in the track and the highest average speed per hour in the Winter Olympic Games, the risk factor during the race is extremely high. This is a test of the player's ability to control the snowmobile.
The men's four-man snowmobile event at the Winter Olympics has come to an end, and the snowmobile powerhouse Germany team has won the gold medal. The Chinese team won 16th and 17th places respectively, which has improved significantly from the previous results!
