Mikey Doble

Michael John Rainey Doble (born 8 December 1998) is a British racing driver who is competing in the British Touring Car Championship for LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing. He is champion of the 2022 Ginetta GT5 Challenge and the 2022 BMW Compact Cup, and he made his British Touring Car Championship debut in 2023.

Career Karting Doble began his career in karting, and competed in various championships across the United Kingdom, such as the Super 1 National Super Cadet Championship in 2012, where he came fifth.

Golf Following Doble's karting career, his focus moved to golf, which he played full time for five years with the ambition of becoming a professional golfer, winning titles at a county and collegiate level.

Ginetta GT5 Challenge In 2021, Doble competed in the Ginetta GT5 Challenge with Xentek Motorsport. He finished fourth in the Pro standings this year, with two podiums throughout the season.

Doble returned to the championship with Xentek the following year in 2022, and won two races during the season. Doble was the provisional champion following the final race of the weekend, but was given a three-second post-race penalty for a yellow flag infringement, which demoted his race three position from second to fifth, making Will Jenkins the provisional champion. Following a hearing at the Motorsport UK National Court following the season, Doble was reinstated second place and his championship title was confirmed.

British Touring Car Championship

2023 On 7 March 2023, it was announced that Doble would compete in the 2023 British Touring Car Championship with CarStore Power Maxed Racing, alongside Árón Taylor-Smith and Andrew Watson. He would be eligible for the Jack Sears Trophy. During qualifying for the ninth race weekend at Silverstone Mikey became the only non Napa Racing driver to secure pole position.

2024 Doble was retained by Power Maxed Racing for the 2024 British Touring Car Championship, with the team running under the Evans Halshaw Power Maxed Racing banner and reverting to a two-car line-up alongside Árón Taylor-Smith.

The season proved a breakthrough campaign for Doble. He embarked on a 19-round Jack Sears Trophy podium streak from the season opener at Donington Park, and at Oulton Park took all three Jack Sears Trophy class wins on the same weekend. In the final race of that meeting Doble led much of the running before being passed on the closing lap, finishing second overall and missing out on a maiden outright BTCC victory by 0.749 seconds to eventual Drivers' Champion Jake Hill.

On 25 May 2025, Doble took his maiden BTCC race victory in the third race at Snetterton, holding off four-time champion Ashley Sutton from reverse-grid pole position. The win was Power Maxed Racing's first BTCC race victory since 2019.

A fire at Power Maxed Racing's headquarters mid-season destroyed the team's racecars and equipment, forcing Doble and his teammates to switch from the Vauxhall Astra to a loaned Cupra Leon for the final four rounds of the season, beginning at Knockhill.

Doble finished runner-up in the Independent Drivers' Championship, losing the title to Daniel Lloyd of Restart Racing by four points after taking the title fight to the final race at Brands Hatch. He ended the season eighteenth in the overall Drivers' Championship with 100 points.

2026

For the 2026 British Touring Car Championship, Doble remained with Power Maxed Racing for a fourth consecutive season, racing under the LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing banner alongside Aiden Moffat in the team's all-new Audi S3 Saloon. Dexter Patterson joined the squad in a third Audi running under the Steel Seal with Power Maxed Racing entry.

At the season opener at Donington Park on 18-19 April 2026, Doble took the Independents' class victory in the championship's inaugural Qualifying Race, finishing fourth overall. In Race One, Doble inherited his second BTCC race victory after on-track winner Tom Ingram was disqualified for an overboost infringement.

Personal life Doble's father, Mike, is a former racing driver who raced alongside him in the BMW Compact Cup. His grandfather, Mick, is also a former racing driver.

His younger brother, Isaac Doble, is also a racing driver. Isaac contested the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship in 2025 as a rookie, taking four race wins and entering the final round as championship leader, before stepping up to the Mairon Motorsport MINI CHALLENGE Trophy for the 2026 season.
