Lost gravel road rediscovered with the Focus RS

How far would you travel in search of the perfect road?

After naming seven of Europe’s Greatest Driving Roads, Ford Europe expanded their search to bring you something from China to add to your bucket-list – a lost track in the mountains of Guizhou province.

Climbing 350 metres in just over four kilometres, and with a dizzying 24 blind hairpin bends, Stilwell Road was the perfect road to put the 350 PS Focus RS to the test.

During World War Two, this road was a vital Allied supply route, but it lay forgotten for half a century.

These days, its loose gravel hairpins are mostly empty, making it the perfect playground for the Focus RS and expert driver– once safely closed off to other traffic, of course.
