Carlin has confirmed that Ameya Vaidyanathan will contest a full campaign with the team in European Formula 3 this season.
Vaidyanathan finished fourth in last year’s Euroformula Open championship, and also participated in three European F3 rounds for Carlin, taking a best finish of 13th.
Carlin’s confirmation of Vaidyanathan means it will field six cars in the series this year, with the Indian joining Jehan Daruvala, Ferdinand Habsburg, Sacha Fenestraz, Devlin DeFrancesco and Nikita Troitskiy at the team.
“It’s great to be moving up to FIA Formula Three in what is now my third year with Carlin,” said Vaidyanathan.
“Staying in the team was a no-brainer because I can see everyone’s commitment towards achieving the highest standards.
“I’ve really learnt so much during my time at Carlin thus far and I’m keen to put everything to good use to find my feet in such a competitive field.”
Trevor Carlin, racing director, said, “This will be our third season working with Ameya and we’re pleased to see how much he has grown and accomplished in that time.
“He took his maiden win in the Euroformula Open Championship at Spa and has been consistently improving his race craft.
“We are extremely pleased to be working together in such competitive championship and look forward to seeing what he can achieve.”
