Evans Halshaw BTCC

Evans Halshaw & Power Maxed Racing

We're partners with Power Maxed Racing, who race in the British Touring Car Championship.

Why has Evans Halshaw partnered with Power Maxed Racing?

For decades, the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) has been recognised as a racing series for all to enjoy. Unlike Formula One, which is notoriously expensive for fans to enjoy in-person, the BTCC is readily accessible for everyone.

At Evans Halshaw, we pride ourselves on sharing similar values. We cater for a wide range of needs and budgets, and want everyone to feel like they're welcome when visiting one of our Evans Halshaw retailers.

Power Maxed Racing was built on the values of hard work and being driven, which is why we're proud to have become partners.

Mikey Doble

Mikey is the Doble families third generation racing driver and is looking to follow in the footsteps of father Mike and Grandfather Mick by winning championships at the highest level. Like many drivers, Mikey began his motorsports career in karting. By the age of nine, Mikey was competing at the highest level of karting in the UK, the same proving grounds which saw Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Lando Norris begin their racing careers.

As his karting career came to a close, Mikey's focus began to shift towards golf. Mikey spent five years playing full time with the ambition to pursue a career in professional golf. He won multiple golf titles at county level, collegiate level and achieved a playing handicap of -1. During this period, Mikey's passion for motorsport never faded and 2018 saw his much anticipated return to racing, however this time in cars. Mikey completed his first season of cars, racing in the BMW Compact Cup, competing alongside his father Mike Doble who himself was making a return to racing after a decade out from behind the wheel.

After a strong rookie year which saw him race consistently within the top 15, 2019 was a substantial breakthrough year. Mikey finished the season fifth in the overall standings out of 45 entries. He was one of only two drivers to finish 16 out of 16 races inside the top 15, and he also finished the year with a second place finish.
