Indian Karting Star Jaden Pariat To Drive Full Season In British F4 Championship

NEW DELHI: Indian karting star, Jaden R Pariat, who became the first Indian to get a podium in the British F4 Rookie class, has now signed for an entire season in the competitive British F4 Championship for 2023, said a team announcement from Anmol Rampal, Director, Marketing Musketeers, here on Friday.

The 16-year racing talent from Shillong has joined team Phinsys by Argenti and will take part in the FIA-certified F4 single-seater motorsports series for 2023 featuring 30 races, held across ten UK's premier circuits. Of them, nine are support races for the British Touring Car Championship. "The competition, the grids and race distances are huge and the standard of racing is quite high in the British F4 series. After just two rounds, I learnt a lot on and off the track. It is a very competitive series and I am fortunate to be able to do a full season in the championship," said Jaden.

Jaden, the flamboyant racer from North-East, made his karting debut in November 2020 under the able wings of top-Indian outfit MSport in the Meco FMSCI National Karting Championship that provided a platform for many an Indian to graduate into Formula cars. Next year, he showed immense skills to fight for the championship honours and finished a close vice-champion in the Junior class in the 2021 X30 Nationals. He easily transitioned to open-wheel series and tasted the speed of these Formula cars for a few races in 2022 at the MRF LGB1300 Challenge at the Madras International Circuit and the JK Tyre National Racing Championship at Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore.

Michael Meadows, Team Principal, Phinsys by Argenti, said: "Having tested Jaden last year, we were impressed with his performance and his ability to learn and take on information. As a rookie, this is a hugely important factor as they make the transition to F4. British F4 has strong teams and drivers and has produced top-level drivers, a few of whom are now in F1." Jaden's teammates at Argenti's 2023 campaign will be Isaac Barashi and Patrick Heuzenroeder. Donington Park, Leicestershire hosts the season opener on April 22 and 23.
