Jaden Pariat, a talented young racing driver from Northeast India, is set to take on rounds four, five, and six of the F4 British Championship this weekend (May 6/7), at the iconic Brands Hatch venue in Kent.
The 16-year-old started his 2023 campaign off in style at Donington Park, with an impressive overall third place finish in race two, marking the youngster’s first podium appearance with leading team Phinsys by Argenti.
Having raced on the circuit’s Grand Prix layout in last year’s competition, Jaden will be able to feed from previous experience of the former Formula One venue to aid in his efforts on the shorter but equally as technical Indy layout this time out. Jaden will once again race thanks to the support of his amazing sponsors, Lyca Radio, Boba Tree, Ahom and Minerva Virtual Academy, and will carry the logos on his car at Brands Hatch.
Unofficial testing kicks off the weekend on Friday May 5th, before the teenager gets back behind the wheel for qualifying on Saturday May 6th at 10:25 BST (14:55 IST), with race one later that afternoon at 13:40 BST (18:10 IST). Race two is set for 10:25 BST (14:55 IST) on Sunday 7th, and race three at 15:10 BST (19:40 IST), which will be broadcast live on ITV4 or ITVX for UK viewers.

“I’m feeling positive heading to Brands Hatch Indy, it’s the shortest circuit on the calendar, so it’ll be really, really close. The gaps were tiny at Donington Park, and I expect it to be a lot closer this time because of how short the lap is, so qualifying is going to be crucial and we’ll be focusing a lot on performing well for that.
“We’ve driven at Brands Hatch a few times now, and I think it’s a circuit that could suit us, so hopefully we can achieve a great qualifying result. It’s difficult to predict what could happen or how we’re going to perform, because everyone unleashed their true pace at Donington Park and it showed how competitive the grid is this season, but the team and I will continue to push for good results.
“After my podium at Donington Park last time out I’m definitely striving to get another top three finish under my belt at Brands Hatch. The full focus is on starting the weekend off strong which will hopefully set us up well for another podium.”
