There will be two familiar faces in the Pinnacle Motorsport garage as the team announces Kai Daryanani and Yuhao Fu for the upcoming Formula 4 UAE Championship (F4 UAE) for 2024.
This will be Kai's second season in F4 UAE with the Irish-licensed team. The Indian driver competed in the full five round season last year and scored a best 10th place finish at Dubai and Yas Marina. He then built up on his experience by competing in British F4 before rejoining Pinnacle Motorsport for F4 South East Asia at the end of the year where he went on to claim a podium finish at Sepang.
Yuhao Fu will mark his first full season in single seaters as he contests in 2024 F4 UAE. The Chinese driver first raced with Pinnacle Motorsport for the F4 SEA double header in Malaysia and impressed with a 6th place finish in only his second event.
Both drivers are confirmed for the full five event F4 UAE calendar, where they will aim for strong finishes. The 2024 season gets the green light with a double header at the Yas Marina Circuit on the 12th and 19th of January. It will then move to the Dubai Autodrome for Round 3 in February, back to Yas Marina for Round 4, then finally closing the season at Dubai on the 18th of February.
