Snow was/is fun but I also went to the Ford Proving Ground in Lommel in december '09 for my RS Training Day

Copy/paste of my little report back then...
These training sessions are exclusively for RS 2 owners in Belgium which is offered as an extra option.
Purpose is to demonstrate what the car can do, some instructions on handling the car, simulate oversteer, slalom, high speed, ideal line, linear braking, etc....
Course started at 9am and ended at 3pm. You use you own car but you get a set of wheels & tyres from Ford for the day. The handling track (where most of the setup of the RS has been done) was covered in salt but the Continentals were just awesome! Everyone was impressed with the grip they had on these salty and here and there icy roads. Even the instructor who hadn't tested them yet in these conditions.
Don't have that many pictures, but others that have completed the course have only 1 so I'm not complaining
Having a husband who works there does help a little
