Rising motorsport star Kaleb Ngatoa will race fulltime in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship in New Zealand in 2024, Australasia’s top single-seater championship.
The competition is one of six global Formula Regional Championships targeted at young drivers with an eye on making it to Formula One or other high-level international motorsport championships.
Last year, the 22-year-old (Te Ātihaunui a Pāpārang) contested six of the 15 Oceania races, securing a win and second-place finish to end his part-time campaign 14th (out of 19) in the standings.
He also debuted in one round of the Formula Regional Japanese Championship.
