He is the son of British rallycross driver and Lydden Hill Race Circuit owner Pat Doran. In his early life he attended fulston manor school in sittingbourne.
Having signed with Monster Energy in 2011 he has gone on to achieve an X Games Gold medal and numerous other accomplishments in various disciplines.
Doran started his career at the age of 14 choosing to follow in his fathers footsteps. In 2000 he competed in a junior Mini in the sport of rallycross. Doran progressed through the stages rapidly and continued in rallycross, driving a Citroën Saxo stockhatch and then a rear-wheel drive Ford Fiesta in 2007.
In 2009 Doran ran among the quickest drivers in Europe in a Ford Fiesta ST Supercar and beat them, managing in the process to come second in the MSA British Rallycross Championship.
Doran secured a drive with 14-times European Rallycross Champion Kenneth Hansen driving with the Citroën Total Rallycross Team in a Citroën C4. He managed to get to grips with the new Citroën very quickly and soon managed to get some outstanding results, being the driver to score the most points in the second half of the season, all this taking into consideration it was his first year at European level.
In 2011 Doran had built up a reputation within the rallycross industry and resulting from this managed to sign with Monster Energy. The newly formed Monster Energy Citroën Rallycross Team opened new doors of opportunity for Doran.
