Ford is kicking off its EcoBoost Challenge Tour in Phoenix on Saturday, Apr. 12! If you want to drive some fun, fast cars on thrilling closed-course tracks, it's an event that you won't want to miss. Last year, over 28,000 people across the country participated and spots are expected to fill up quickly once again, so make sure to register online if you would like to attend this spring.

From April through July, the tour will hit 12 cities and we're the first stop! The event is free and will include:

• A chance to drive the EcoBoost-equipped Ford Fusion, Escape and F-150 back to back with vehicles from competing manufacturers


• An "ST Performance Academy" where you'll receive professional drive training and compete against the clock on a timed track


• A chance to try out the Ford C-MAX Hybrid against its gas-electric competitors

Watch the video above to see footage from last year, then make sure to sign up at this link if you would like to RSVP. Space is limited and spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will take place at the University of Phoenix Stadium on 1 Cardinals Drive in Glendale, Arizona.
