Ford Focus ST Challenge
Ford is giving fans of the all-new Focus ST a chance to put the high-performing hatchback to the test in a competition that will send the winning driver to the ESPN summer X games.
The competition puts drivers into the seat of a Focus ST driving simulator at auto shows across the country – the participant with the fastest lap time will win a host of awards; including an invite to the ESPN summer X games for a meet-and-greet with drivers of Ford’s Octane Academy.
“This is the perfect way to generate awareness for our ST brand; the Focus ST simulator is tuned with the specs from the actual car, so people can get a true feel for the dynamics of ST performance,” said Lisa Schoder, ST Marketing manager.
The challenge will be live on the Focus Facebook page, where a leader board will be posted from each show the challenge visits.
