Formula Drift will continue to be a valuable partner for the Air Force in showcasing some of the many careers the Air Force has to offer young Americans interested in speed, power, precision and teamwork. It was a truly great experience working with Ubiquity and Formula Drift on this project. The team at Ubiquity was able to tell our story while showcasing some fun driving footage. This was a great experience for all involved and we hope the Drift fans enjoy the show while learning more about what the Air Force does every day." Devin M.
