Benjy Douglas - Team Driver

I was inspired to pursue racing after watching the Gran Turismo movie, where I was captivated by the story of a sim driver successfully transitioning to real-life motorsport. Intrigued by the idea, I began exploring sim racing myself and quickly developed a passion for learning how to drive a car at its limit. This interest naturally evolved into a desire to race in real life, where I could apply the skills I had honed through simulation. Today, I am proud to have secured a junior drive with a BTCC team, Speedworks Motorsport, marking a significant milestone in my racing career.

Hi, my name is Jonathan Ogden, 25, and I am a Racing Driver from the UK with Ankylosing Spondylitis Arthritis and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Many have described these as a setback, however, I believe this adds to my strengths, allows me to rise to the challenge and drives me to achieve. This is also displayed in the award winning documentary Non-Stop by Jack Kinsella, showing my journey, accomplishments, talent & determination.

I have competed in multiple series all over the world, sim-racing & racing, through the years; achieving podiums, championship wins, fastest laps and pole positions. This is just the beginning of my journey into the top levels of professional motorsport. My dream is to become a GT driver, racing against some of the best in the world and prove to people the impossible is possible.

Jack Middleton - Team Driver

My name is Jack Middleton, and I am an amateur sim racer pursuing a career in the world of competitive racing. I first dipped my toes into sim racing in 2024, initially just for fun with friends on an old steering wheel. However, I became more serious about the sport in 2026 after watching iRacing content on YouTube, which inspired me to dive deeper into the world of sim racing. I am excited to begin this journey with Phoenix Sim Racing, a team I am eager to grow with as I continue to develop my skills.

In addition to sim racing, I have several years of karting experience, including notable achievements such as being the former lap record holder at Daytona Tamworth, finishing P3 and P4 in the Daytona Superchamps, and becoming Vice Winter Series Champion at Fulbeck. I’ve also secured a top-10 finish at PFI, and I am now looking forward to transitioning into car racing in the coming years. Sim racing has always been a passion of mine, and I am excited to see where this path takes me.
