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.
Doble began his career in karting, [2] and competed in various championships across the United Kingdom, such as the Super 1 National Super Cadet Championship in 2012, where he came 5th. [3]
Following Doble's karting career, his focus moved to golf, which he played full time for 5 years with the ambition of becoming a professional golfer, winning titles at a county and collegiate level. [2]
Doble returned to Racing and subsequently made his car racing debut in 2018, competing in the BRSCC BMW Compact Cup. [2] He competed in this championship from 2018 to 2022, and won the championship title in 2022. [4]
In 2021, Doble competed in the Ginetta GT5 Challenge with Xentek Motorsport. [5] He finished 4th in the Pro standings this year, with two podiums throughout the season.
He 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 3-second post-race penalty for a yellow flag infringement, which demoted his race three position from 2nd to 5th, making Will Jenkins the provisional champion. Following a hearing at the Motorsport UK National Court following the season, Doble was reinstated 2nd place and his championship title was confirmed. [6]
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.
