Ford Racing Launches Fiesta Rally Experience

Ford Racing has teamed up with New Hampshire–based Team O’Neil Rally School to let the general public learn how to go rallying in a Ford Fiesta. Ford will campaign highly modified Fiestas in both the FIA World Rally Championship and Rally America next year, and is allowing regular car owners a chance to get in on the fun. After a classroom session covering vehicle dynamics and car control, students at the Fiesta Rally Experience will spend time on a gravel skid pad and slalom course in the Fiestas, and will learn skills like left-foot braking. Instructors will demonstrate the legendary Scandinavian flick and give students a full-tilt ride through

a rally stage. The best students will get to drive the stages themselves. Ford donated 43 Fiestas to the school, and all have been specially prepped for rally duty with skid plates, rally suspension, off-road tires, and a roll bar to keep occupants safe. The one-day program costs $495 per person. If it’s as much fun as the above picture suggests, we’d say it’s money well spent.
