Champion racer Tanner Foust stars in Quantum Drift
New video launches on Rockstar Energy Drink YouTube channel

Tuesday launched “Quantum Drift,” a new video on the Rockstar Energy Drink YouTube channel that showcases the versatile driver’s skills behind the
wheel of multiple machines.

“The concept is inspired by this nerdy TV show that I used to watch,” said Foust. “We dreamt up an
action sequence that basically gave me the chance to drive as many fun machines as possible in
one video.”
In a nod to the 80s science-fiction television show Quantum Leap, the video follows Foust as he
swaps between his favorite vehicles in unexpected environments. Linked by a special yellow
steering wheel, Foust stunts his 600 horsepower Rockstar Energy Drink Volkswagen Beetle over a
makeshift gap jump, takes a Jamaican excursion in a Polaris RZR UTV, gets sideways on gravel in
his 900 horsepower drift Passat, drives a Porsche 912E with a personal family connection, and
pilots a boat.
Donut Media led the production, capturing footage some 30-seconds at a time over six months of
2016. It is the first time that Foust has worked with Donut Media, a company that is rapidly building a
reputation as a leader in creating shareable automotive
content.
“We know there are a lot of people doing cool stuff out there and we’re trying to do a new take and a
fresh look,” said Jacob Agajanian, vice president of partnerships at Donut Media. “Our shoots are
fast and fun and a little sketchy, and we had a fantastic experience working with Tanner on this
project.”
