So the Olympics are mesmerizing us again. We will be alternately elated and frustrated as we revel in the surprises (Simon Whitfield in 2000) and the disappointments (our entire boxing team, which was comprised entirely of Adam Turpish, in 2008). But for we motorheads, there's something missing; there's no automotive competition where the very best in internal combustion from every country face off head-to-head. Never mind what the competition would look like, the big question is who would represent each country as their ultimate expression of automotive performance.
