We feel that we are leading the charge of what is a progressive and new way to reach and develop a fan base., said Ryan Sage, vice president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT. Additionally, with partner Ubiquity Broadcasting Corporation, we are excited to be expanding our coverage of the events as well, making the live experience better to watch from home or work. We will start with a few shots of the competition on Friday and expand to a full broadcast by main day. We will also be adding a live half-time show and new graphics.
