NANDAN JOINS CDR IN BRITISH F4
Young Indian racer Divy Nandan has joined the Chris Dittmann Racing team for two rounds of this year’s British Formula 4 championship, starting with this weekend’s trip to Snetterton.
CDR has run Joel Pearson in a single-car entry for the team’s British F4 debut this season, though they missed the recent Knockhill round as Pearson was still recovering from his large Croft accident.
Divy, 19, started karting in India with Narain Karthikeyan Racing Academy when he was 17. He claimed a podium finish on his freshman weekend in MRF saloons at Madras International Circuit, before graduating to single-seaters in the MRF Formula 1600. He is now looking to develop further in Europe.
Nandan said: “I wanted to join a team which focuses on driver development, not lap times. Chris Dittmann Racing has been really good with Joel this year, and they have been working hard to help me progress to become a better driver.
“I’ve been doing sessions on the team’s simulator to help familiarise myself before I get to the race track. It has been nice to use a top-quality simulator. The environment is quite jolly, but they are keen to help drivers learn, progress, and become competitive on track.”
