[7] [8] He ended his season in the Formula 4 South East Asia Championship, where he finished 10th in the standings with one podium. [9] 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. [10]

[13] He then confirmed his participation in the 2024 F4 British Championship, this time driving for Fortec Motorsport. [14] 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. [15] [16] He ended his last year in Formula 4 with a full season of the 2024 Formula Trophy UAE. [17] In the first round, he secured three points finishes. [18] 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. [19] In the final round, he secured the title with a pair of podiums, handing Daryanani his first ever championship title. [20]
