Career
[edit | edit source]Karting
[edit | edit source]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 fifth.[3]
Golf
[edit | edit source]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.[2]
BMW Compact Cup
[edit | edit source]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]
Ginetta GT5 Challenge
[edit | edit source]In 2021, Doble competed in the Ginetta GT5 Challenge with Xentek Motorsport.[5] 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.[6]
