Aussie karter Jack Beeton joins UAE Formula 4
Australian Karter Jack Beeton will join the huge grid in the 2023 United Arab Emirates Formula 4 championship.
Beeton will drive for Pinnacle VAR, the collaboration between Irish squad Pinnacle Motorsport and Dutch team Van Amersfoort Racing.
He will be joined by Indian Kai Daryanani for the full season, with Japan's Hiyu Yamakoshi and Italian Brando Badoer to share the team's third car across the five-round series.
Beeton was selected as a winner of the 2022 Ferrari Driver Academy Asia Pacific and Oceania Selection program, travelling to Maranello to compete in a field of 24 drivers for a place in the Ferrari Driver Academy.
The young Aussie finished fourth in the 2022 KA4 Junior class and completed a number of F4 tests and simulator sessions ahead of the FDA selection program.
He joins fellow Aussies James Wharton, Jimmy Piszcyk, and Noah Lisle on the official entry list - currently sitting at 33 drivers.
The 2023 Formula 4 United Arab Emirates series begins with pre-season testing 9-11 January in Dubai, before round one kicks off 13-14 January.
