The 22-year-old created history in December last year when he became the first Indian to win a Formula 2 race at the Sakhir Grand Prix. He had then triumphed after a close contest against F2 champion Mick Schumacher and Daniel Ticktum.  

As per a report in motorsport.com, Daruvala will compete in the Formula Three Asia event, which is scheduled to be held later this month. The report mentioned that Daruvala will pair up with last year's British F3 runner-up Kush Maini.
