Racing Bobsleds at the Mountain Track

A bobsled sits in the starting area of an icy mountain racing track. The vehicle features streamlined outer body panels, while safety headgear and an equipment box rest nearby.

Engineering and Speed in Winter Bobsledding

Bobsled tracks are built with banked icy turns that allow sleds to reach speeds over eighty miles per hour using only gravity and aerodynamics. The outer shell of a competition sled is crafted from fiberglass and steel to minimize drag while protecting the athletes inside. Helmets worn by bobsled drivers include full-face visors to shield against extreme wind chill and ice spray during a run.

Real Colors of Bobsled Equipment

  • Bobsled body panels: glossy red, blue, yellow, or custom team racing colors
  • Racing helmet: bright primary colors with a dark tinted or clear visor
  • Track ice surface: smooth bluish-white or clear reflective gray
  • Equipment box: dark gray, black, or metallic aluminum
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Bobsledding

How do bobsleds steer down an icy track?
The driver inside the front of the sled pulls rings attached to a simple steering mechanism that turns the front steel runners.
Why are bobsled starting areas engineered with steep slopes?
A steep starting push section helps teams build maximum forward momentum before settling inside the sled for the rest of the course.
