Built on Grip, Trust, and Chaos: Our Partnership with Connor “O’Sully” O’Sullivan
When you talk about modern drifting, you usually end up talking about three things: commitment, community, and chaos control. Our relationship with Connor “O’Sully” O’Sullivan sits right at the intersection of all three.
AZRagIPS and East10Drift have always believed that grassroots energy is the heartbeat of the sport. Connor is proof of what happens when that energy meets relentless work ethic and pro-level focus. From his early days coming up through PROSPEC to his breakout rookie Formula Drift PRO season in 2025, O’Sully has brought the exact kind of attitude we love being behind: aggressive, technical, and unapologetically full send.
From Stunt Riding to Formula Drift PRO
Before he was door-to-door with the best in Formula Drift, Connor was already living wide open. Coming from stunt riding and a background in all things motorsports, he built his driving style around commitment: big angle, high risk, and zero hesitation.
His first exposure to drifting came at Formula Drift Atlanta in 2021. That one event was enough—he shifted his full focus from stunt riding to drifting and never looked back. Within a few short seasons, he climbed into the PRO ranks and, in 2025, completed his rookie season with a Top 15 championship finish, including a Top 8 result at the Round 8 finale in Long Beach.
For a rookie driver in one of the most competitive series in the world, that’s not just impressive, it’s a statement.
The 2025 Army-Livery E46: Where We Came In
In 2025, AZRagIPS had the opportunity to help tell O’Sully’s story on one of the most important canvases in motorsports: the car itself. We came on board as a sponsor and took on the wrap for his BMW E46 PRO car, finished in an unmistakable Army-inspired livery.
For us, a wrap isn’t just graphics—it’s identity. It has to match the driver’s personality, the team’s culture, and the energy they bring to every battle. O’Sully’s style is aggressive, “no doors,” all-in driving, often matching up against top Formula Drift veterans like Fredric Aasbø. The car needed to look like it belonged in those battles; loud, sharp, and unapologetically ready for war.
Connor put it best in his own words:
“I have been working with the AZRAG team for 4 years now, the level of dedication is unmatched. The car is always top notch quality and finished before our deadline. By far the best wrap shop around. Worth traveling the distance for this type of service.”
That testimonial means a lot to us, because it sums up what we aim to do for every driver and team we work with: deliver pro-level quality, on time, with no excuses.
AZRAGips x East10Drift: Grassroots Roots, Pro-Level Execution
Our relationship with East10Drift goes back to the same place Connor came from, the grassroots scene. East10Drift has built a reputation as one of the most authentic driving communities in the region, giving drivers real track time, real competition, and a platform to grow into the next level.
AZRagIPS has been proud to support that ecosystem with wraps and visual identity that help drivers look as serious as they drive. So when a driver like O’Sully comes out of that same world and into Formula Drift PRO, it’s not just “another client”—it feels like one of our own going to battle on the biggest stage.
The 2025 season was a perfect example of that synergy:
- Connor O’Sullivan – The driver putting it all on the line in Formula Drift PRO
- East10Drift – The grassroots backbone and testing ground that forged his style
- AZRagIPS – The team making sure the car shows up looking as sharp and aggressive as it drives
It’s a full-circle story: a grassroots-bred driver, backed by a grassroots-born drift organization, carrying a pro-standard look into a world-class series.
Looking Ahead: The “Triple OG Head Cracker 9000”
As of early 2026, O’Sully is deep in testing a new E46 BMW chassis for the upcoming PRO season, a car he jokingly (but accurately) calls his “triple OG head cracker 9000.”
That name alone tells you pretty much everything about where his head is at: bigger angle, more smoke, more commitment. And as he levels up the hardware, we’re proud to stand behind him with the same consistency and dedication he’s come to count on—from layout to print to final install.
The same way he expects his car to fire on all cylinders on track, he expects his presentation to be dialed in off track. That’s where our long-term relationship really matters. After four years of working together, we know how Connor likes his branding, how his partners want to be seen, and what it takes to get a car turned around and ready before load-in, every time.
Why This Partnership Matters
For AZRagIPS, supporting Connor O’Sullivan and working alongside East10Drift isn’t just about having our logo on a PRO car. It’s about:
- Backing real talent that came up the hard way, from grassroots to PRO.
- Investing in the community that made that possible—events, seat time, and opportunities through organizations like East10Drift.
- Proving that presentation matters at every level of motorsports. A proper wrap is part of the professionalism, part of the story, and part of how fans, sponsors, and media remember a car.
Connor’s rise; rookie PRO season, Top 15 in points, and a Top 8 finish at the Long Beach finale, is exactly the kind of journey we want to stand behind. We’re proud to have helped shape the visual side of that story and excited to continue as his program evolves into 2026 and beyond.
Closing
Connor O’Sullivan drives the way we like to work: all-in, no shortcuts, no half measures. East10Drift builds the kind of environment we believe in: real tracks, real competition, real community. AZRagIPS is here to make sure that when all of that comes together, it looks as serious as it truly is.
Here’s to more seasons, more smoke, more doors getting sacrificed in the name of angle and more builds we’re proud to put our name on.
