The real revolutionaries in the Fiesta Movement (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fiesta+movement/) - the cars themselves, not the agents - have more work to do even though they're kind of on sale now (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/13/ford-fiesta-shipments-delayed-due-to-hurricane-damaged-railroad/) and the revolution is over. Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford) is giving 43 of the 100 Fiestas (http://www.autoblog.com/model/fiesta) from the movement to the Team O'Neil Reilly Rally School in New Hampshire, where the hatchbacks will be refitted for student racing duty.
They'll form the core of the Ford Racing Fiesta Rally Experience, the only manufacturer-backed rally school on the continent. One- and two-day courses start at $495, and your gravel guide will be a man who's coached Travis Pastrana and Ford's WRC driver, Ken Block. Maybe while you're there you'll find out what made Reilly quip, "Driving the Fiesta is like driving an expensive German car." All the info you need on how to get there you can find in the press release after the jump.
