Thumbs up Visit Ford’s top-secret test track

Probably a re-post.
Visit Ford’s top-secret test track
By Neil McDonaldHerald Sun17 June 2010An opportunity money can't buy - Ford fanatics have the chance to be driven around the high-speed testing track at You Yangs.
The gates to Ford's top-secret proving ground near Geelong are being thrown open to the public.

However, there's a small catch. They will only be open to 50 lucky winners of Ford's "ultimate Ford experience" competition.

The competition is being held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the country's much-loved Falcon. "It's an opportunity money can't buy," Ford spokesperson, Sinead McAlary says. "We never allow the public into the proving ground and security is always strictly controlled."

The winners will not only get a tour of the multi-million dollar You Yangs facility but also the chance to be driven around the high-speed testing track by Ford's own test drivers.

Apart from a behind-the-scenes look at the proving ground, winners will also have VIP access to Ford's Campbellfield styling studio, a tour of the Campbellfield and Geelong assembly plants and lunch with Ford racing legends Dick Johnson and Alan Moffat and Ford President Marin Burela.

To get the chance to see one of the country's top-secret proving grounds, simply head to Facebook and "like" the "Falcon turns 50 fan page" and follow the instructions.

The competition closes on July 9 at 4pm, and winners will be announced on July 14.
