DEARBORN, Mich., March 9, 2016 – It's one thing to buy a fire-breathing, 526-horsepower Shelby GT350® Mustang, and it's another thing to understand how to really drive it.

Owners of 2015 and 2016 Shelby GT350 and Shelby® GT350R Mustang are invited to learn the capabilities of their car as part of the complimentary GT350 Track Attack program offered by Ford Performance Racing School, located at Utah Motorsports Campus in Tooele, Utah.

The program is designed to help drivers at all skill levels understand the nuances of their car's performance and handling in a safe environment under professional supervision. The experience not only teaches high-performance driving skills, including braking, shifting and cornering techniques, but also focuses on the particular dynamics of the GT350 and GT350R.

'GT350 is a car that needs to be experienced on a closed road course,' said Jim Owens, Ford Performance marketing manager. 'The program is designed for owners to learn how to get the most out of their car so they can appreciate the unique performance Shelby GT350 delivers, while also gaining driving skills and experience. It's going to be a ton of fun.'

The GT350 Track Attack program begins with an evening reception followed by a one-day performance driving school. Students will participate in both classroom and on-track driving tutorials with Ford Performance Racing School instructors.

The program is included with the purchase of a 2015 or 2016 Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustang. While the one-day drive event is complimentary and owners do not need to bring their own car, they are responsible for their airfare and lodging. For a cost, participants can opt for a second track day, as well as additional driving and non-driving programs.
