Michael Doyle (born June 18, 1987 in Glasgow, Scotland is a racing driver. He and his team In-Tune Racing are based in Gartocharn, near Loch Lomond. For 2008 he competes in the British Touring Car Championship for the first time. Doyle's team is family-owned, [1] and is part of a garage services business which he works for during the week. They are managed by Andy Scott, formerly of Synchro Motorsport [2].
He is not among the front-runners in his aged Honda Civic [3], and was not among the top 10 non-works drivers to finish until race 7 at Donington Park. He ran 10th for part of race 6 at Rockingham, before spinning out [4]. His first points came in race 13 at Croft, which was stopped early due to rain.
[edit] Racing History
After a career in karts (incuding two Scottish titles in 2002), Doyle contested the 2004 Renault Clio Winter Series. From 2005 to 2007 Doyle raced in the full Renault Clio Cup, which supports the BTCC. He finished 4th overall in 2006 [5], and took a win at Snetterton in 2007. He also took a victory in the equivalent Italian series, in a race at Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium.
