Kanato Le ready for British F4 challenge

The career of Kanato Le enters another exciting chapter this weekend as he contests the opening round of the ROKiT British Formula 4 Championship with Hitech Pulse-Eight at Donington Park.

Kanato will be competing in the British Formula 4 Championship for the first time off the back of a successful maiden single-seater campaign in the F4 UAE Championship, where he was able to clinch a podium finish on his first ever race weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit.

Although this is a maiden campaign in the British Formula 4 Championship, Kanato will be familiar with the Donington Park circuit having raced at the venue during his successful 2022 Ginetta Junior Championship campaign.

Kanato will be looking to call upon that experience as he looks to get off to the best possible start this weekend.

Sharing his thoughts ahead of the opening round, Kanato said:

"I'm very much looking forward to getting back out on the race-track and getting this season started. Myself and the Hitech Pulse-Eight team have worked hard to prepare ourselves for the opening round at Donington Park. The experience I've gained from my single seater season in the F4 UAE Championship should serve me well and I’m looking forward to showcasing my skills here in the UK."

Coverage of the action is available across the weekend live on ITV.com/btcc and ITV4.

Live timing is also available.
