Mikey Doble to spearhead Power Maxed Racing charge

By

Mikey Doble is set to return to the British Touring Car Championship for a third successive season this year after extending his stay with Power Maxed Racing.

Back behind the wheel of the Vauxhall Astra once again, the 26-year-old will become the team’s longest-serving driver in the UK’s premier motorsport series this year.

Serving up a breakthrough debut campaign in 2023, Doble enjoyed a superlative second season last year as he clinched the Jack Sears Trophy title, claiming runners-up laurels in the Independent Drivers’ Championship and netted an overall podium finish at Oulton Park.

Now set to spearhead the reigning Independent Teams’ champions charge this year, Doble is relishing the prospect of what is to come in 2025.

“I’m thrilled to be returning to the BTCC a third straight year and aiming to kick on from what has already been an amazing couple of years in the championship,” said Doble. “I’m delighted to be doing it with Power Maxed Racing and leading the charge there, showing everyone our best is yet to come.

“So far I’ve accomplished everything that I set out to achieve in my first couple of years in the BTCC including scoring a pole position in qualifying, an overall podium finish and of course winning the Jack Sears Trophy last season.

“This year we’re looking to take things up to the next level by challenging for podiums on a more regular basis, taking that Independent Drivers’s title and ultimately winning a race – it won’t be a success in my eyes if we don’t do the latter.

“Everyone at the team has been working really hard over these past few months and I cannot wait to get back out in the Vauxhall Astra, starting at Croft for the first official test in just a few weeks’ time.”
