In 2015, he moved to senior max. His focus was on two championships in 2015 -- Rotax Asia Max Championship in Malaysia and the JK Tyre National Championship in India.

Donison won the last two rounds in Asia Cup and finished an overall fourth in the championship and became the first ever Indian to break into the top-5 in Asia.

He continued his success with excellent driving in India and became the national champion in his first year of senior category. On his way, he also captured five out of five pole positions in as many rounds of the championship. He won four out of the five rounds.
