Career

Formula 4

2023

Daryanani made his Formula 4 debut in 2023, driving for Pinnacle VAR in the 2023 Formula 4 UAE Championship.[3] His season yielded a best result of 17th at Yas Marina, seeing him finish in 36th in the championship standings.[4] Daryanani's main season championship, however, was in the 2023 F4 British Championship, where he would drive for Virtuosi Racing.[5] Another tough campaign followed, but Daryanani showed clear improvement from his 15 races in the UAE, as he secured a best result of sixth on his way to 24th in the standings.[6][7] He ended his season in the Formula 4 South East Asia Championship, where he finished 10th in the standings with one podium.[8] Daryanani also made appearances in various other F4 series, most notably in the 2023 GB4 Championship where he secured his first victory in single-seaters.[9]

2024

It was announced that Daryanani would continue in F4 in 2024, driving for Pinnacle Motorsport in the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship.[10] Daryanani fared much better than in his previous season, this time scoring points with a best result of ninth at Yas Marina.[11] He finished 25th in the standings.[12] He then confirmed his participation in the 2024 F4 British Championship, this time driving for Fortec Motorsport.[13] Daryanani had another much improved season in the series, as he scored points regularly. He secured three fourth-placed finishes over the course of the year, and at season's end he finished 12th in the standings, beating all his teammates.[14][15] He ended his last year in Formula 4 with a full season of the 2024 Formula Trophy UAE.[16] In the first round, he secured three points finishes.[17] He then secured his second ever victory in Formula 4 with a victory and a podium in the second round at Yas Marina, placing him second in the championship.[18] In the final round, he secured the title with a pair of podiums, handing Daryanani his first ever championship title.[2]

Formula Regional

2024

Daryanani made his Formula Regional debut at the 2024 Macau Grand Prix with Evans GP.[19] He qualified in 26th, and made improvements in the qualifying race, making 6 places to finish 20th, which would be his grid position for the main race.[20][21] However, Daryanani crashed out of the main race and was unable to finish the race.[22]

2025

Daryanani is set for a full season in the 2025 Formula Regional Middle East Championship, continuing his successful partnership with Evans GP.[19]
