The 17-year-old joins the growing grid with M2 Competition after cementing his place as a rising star in New Zealand Formula Ford.
Sceats was third overall in the 2022 New Zealand FF1600 competition with four wins and five podiums, after also finishing third in the North Island championship.
“I’m genuinely super excited to be racing with M2 Competition in the highly competitive Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Championship for 2023 and I cannot thank my supporters enough who have helped make this dream opportunity into a reality," said Sceats.
The Kiwi joins Formula Ford champions James Penrose, Breanna Morris, and Callum Hedge on the grid for the five-round FR Oceania series.
“It's great to see the next wave of young kiwi drivers progressing to Formula Regional Oceania,” said M2 Competition boss Mark Pilcher.
“Liam has put in a lot of effort into his prep which has gone very well and it will be interesting to see how he goes over the course of a race weekend."
"This championship has been the launch pad for countless young drivers and Liam now has his chance to gain experience and show what he can do.”
The 2023 Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship runs for five weeks, beginning 13-15 January at Highlands Motorsport Park.
