  • Brian Eggert, New FORMULA D Judge

    Brian Eggert Added to the FORMULA D Panel of Judges

    Formula DRIFT has announced Brian Eggert as the new judge for the 2012 Pro Championship. Eggert will be the third judge joining Andy Yen and Ryan Lanteigne on the panel.

    Brian Eggert is an experienced drifting judge having worked with the USDrift Series and several other regional events. Eggert has also worked alongside Drift Association helping to co-create the Pro-Am Series for Formula DRIFT. Since 2003, Eggert has helped create regional chapters across the country in an effort to make safe and legal drifting accessible for enthusiasts of all skill levels. Through USDrift and NASA, Eggert has helped promote the sport of drifting and sanctions 8 organizations hosting events in over 20 states.

    “I am very honored to be given the opportunity to work with Formula DRIFT and look forward to being able to continue help progress the sport of drifting,” said Brian Eggert, Formula DRIFT judge. “The skill level in Formula DRIFT is unmatched and being able to work with the current judges will be a great experience. The judges in the Series have been made up of a remarkable group of people and I look forward to continuing my role in the Series.”

    Eggert will begin his role as judge at Round 1: Streets of Long Beach on April 6-7. He will be taking the position of Tony Angelo, who stepped down to return to the driver’s seat and will be joining the current judges Andy Yen and Ryan Lanteigne.

    “Brian is a great addition to the Series and the judging panel,” said Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT. “His extensive experience and passion for the Sport will make him an asset and help make the proper judging calls throughout the season.”

    The 2012 Formula DRIFT season kicks off on the Streets of Long Beach on April 6-7.

    Based on his resume I think this guy was a great choice.

    Now we just have to wait until Long Beach to see how he gets on with the other judges.

        Congrats to Brian! Good guy, knows his stuff. He's done a great job shaping both XDC and US Drift, and he probably has the fewest allegiances to top tier teams and sponsors of the candidates who were available.

          I think I agreed with almost all of Brian Eggert's calls. Too bad the other two are total dips....
