Ford launches Focus ST driving event in five major cities - egmCarTech

FoMoCo announced today that it is launching consumer drive events for the new Ford Focus ST featuring two driving courses – a performance training section and a timed autocross.

Known as the Focus ST Performance Academy the event will launch in five major cities across the United States including:

◦New York, IZOD Center, June 30
◦Washington, D.C., FedEx Field, July 14
◦Boston, Gillette Stadium, July 21
◦San Francisco, Candlestick Park, Aug. 4
◦Los Angeles, Dodgers Stadium, Aug. 11
The events will open at 9 a.m. and run all day through 6 p.m. Those interested can register at Focus ST Performance Academy.

“Our fans have expressed extremely high interest in this car, but we know the proof is in the pudding,” said Lisa Schoder, Ford Focus ST Marketing manager. “We want ST fans, as well as drivers of competitive vehicles, to be able to taste this car firsthand. What better way to do it than to bring the car to the people with the help of professional driver instruction on closed courses.”

The dates of the events leads me to believe that the ST should be out fairly soon.
