Ford to Provide Free Performance Driving Lessons To Focus RS Buyers

The Ford Focus RS is probably the most popular hot hatch on the marketplace, and buyers will better explore that hotness through a complimentary driving lesson at the Ford Performance Racing School located in Grantsville, Utah. Ford is providing owners of 2016 and 2017 Focus RS hatchbacks a free one-day course at the school, which is situated at the previous Miller Motorsports Park complex beyond Salt Lake City.

Called the RS Adrenaline Academy, the program is comparable to the ST Octane Academy offered before to owners of Focus ST and Fiesta ST cars. Participants will need to pay their own method for travel and lodging, however Ford covers the expenses of the one-day course. There, owners will get class instruction; take part in moving, braking, and cornering workouts; and find out ways to use all four of the Focus RS driving modes, consisting Drift Mode. Judging by some of current videos revealing Drift Mode fails, some owners might use the lessons. A 2nd day on track in a Ford Mustang GT is an extra-cost choice. The program offers students with ready Focus RS hatchbacks, which come equipped with complete safety gear. There will be an alternative for owners to enlist with a guest.

Ford isn’t the only car manufacturer offering totally free driving lessons with purchase. FCA recently announced that purchasers of Fiat 124 Spider Abarth and 500 Abarth designs will get a free one-day course at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving.

Ford states a class schedule will be available soon.
