Mikey Doble returns to Power Maxed Racing for a second season in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship for 2024.

After finishing second to his teammate in a hard-fought battle for the Jack Sears Trophy in 2023, Mikey returns fully focussed, with his sights firmly set on winning the coveted trophy in the 2024 season, and also plans to be fighting for outright podiums and independent wins along the way.

Mikey will certainly be one to watch out for during the forthcoming season.
