His season yielded a best result of 17th at Yas Marina, seeing him finish in 36th in the championship standings.

He ended his season in the Formula 4 South East Asia Championship, where he finished tenth in the standings with one podium. Daryanani also made appearances in various other F4 series, most notably in the 2023 GB4 Championship where he secured his first victory in single-seaters.

Daryanani fared much better than in his previous season, this time scoring points with a best result of ninth at Yas Marina. He finished 25th in the standings. He then confirmed his participation in the 2024 F4 British Championship, this time driving for Fortec Motorsport. Daryanani had another much improved season in the series, as he scored points regularly. He secured three fourth-placed finishes over the course of the year, and at season's end, he finished 12th in the standings, beating all his teammates. Daryanani ended his last year in Formula 4 with a full season of the 2024 Formula Trophy UAE. In the first round, he secured three points finishes. He then secured his second ever victory in Formula 4 with a victory and a podium in the second round at Yas Marina, placing him second in the championship. In the final round, he secured the title with a pair of podiums, handing Daryanani his first ever championship title. He qualified in 26th, and made improvements in the qualifying race, making six places to finish 20th, which would be his grid position for the main race. However, Daryanani crashed out of the main race and was unable to finish the race.
