If you're one of the hordes of internet citizens who watch videos of Ken Block (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ken block), Tanner Foust (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tanner foust), Brian Deegan (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/brian deegan) or Vaughn Gittin Jr. (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/vaughn gittin jr) perform various acts of insanity from behind the wheel and think you can do better, Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford) is giving you the chance to prove it. The automaker has just unveiled its new Octane Academy, which will pair fans up with their favorite maniacal driver for a little on-track training.
If you want a shot at jumping into the fray, all you need to do is work up a video that shows why you're better than the rest and fit for a weekend of challenges. Contest winners will be selected to compete against other horsepower-obsessed entrants before a final champion is selected. Those who beat out the rest on their respective team will take home big prizes, including a specially-designed vehicle penned by Block, Foust, Gittin Jr. or Deegan.
The first camp gets underway in November of 2011, and the contest is currently open and awaiting your video submission. Head over to Octane Academy (http://www.theoctaneacademy.com/) for more information and check out the video and press release after the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/07/14/ford-launching-octane-academy-with-ken-block-tanner-faust/#continued).Continue reading Ford launching Octane Academy with Ken Block, Tanner Faust (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/14/ford-launching-octane-academy-with-ken-block-tanner-faust/)
