The secret’s out and we are soooo ready for racing in 2021!
At last! We’ve had to keep our secret under wraps for a while until it was safely with us. A REALLY hard secret to keep with something this exciting but…
Welcome to
TOPCATS
We are a team of skilled engineers, auto electricians and management, with an enthusiasm derived from our success in motorsport and prominent reputation in performance car engineering.
Some of you asked what our LS engine conversions sound like so here is our latest one on its maiden test run before the car was collected by its owner 😁
Two weeks ago we were at Brands Hatch GP for the 2nd round of GT Cup. We showed we were fast enough to win and we managed a win on Sunday thanks to Warren. Charlotte earned the team a 2nd place on Saturday and lead the Sunday feature race until a driveshaft broke which forced her retirement. Minds focused on the next round at Snetterton on 2-4th June. 💪💪💪. #gtcup #lamborghini #huracan #dailysportscar #britishgt #challenge #supertrofeo #lamborghinisupertrofeo
Meet No.33! That’s how many LS engine conversions we have now completed on customer TVRs over the past 15 years! Just finished this TVR Sagaris with the LS7, showing off over 500hp and close to 500 ft/lbs of torque! #tvr #ls7 #engineconversions #sagaris #performanceupgrades #torque #fastcar #horsepower
Is it that the weather was great, the circuit is fantastic or we just have the best photographers? These photos are epic! We should be leading the championship with ease were it not for a mistake from both Warren and I in our races and a mechanical failure and retirement in the last race. Just got to fight harder now! Thanks to Iandlphotography. #gtcup #fiawim #racingmum #irondames #dailysportscar #autosport #lamborghinisupertrofeo #lamborghini
2 poles, 2 fastest laps - but still chasing that win! Onto tomorrow! 😼🙌

Join us on our 2023 GT Cup campaign supporting, husband and wife, Charlotte and Warren Gilbert as they fight to win GTC in its most competitive season yet. There is a fighting chance they could win the GT Cup Championship outright this year given that between them they showed in the first round at Donington they are the fastest driver pairing in GTC.
The duo can only continue to compete with the backing of its supporters. For those who know Charlotte, Warren and the Topcats team, know how invested they are in their followers, supporters and customers with an ‘open door’ welcome to all who come to watch the team racing. The team have arguably the biggest in person support at the races compared to other teams. A reflection of the fantastic relationships we have developed and how much we welcome our supporters into the heart of the action.
Charlotte and Warren are asking their supporters to move from supporters to stakeholders. The team are aiming to raise funds that will enable Charlotte and Warren to race competitively against the other teams without compromising on tyres and resources that will make the difference between winning and losing.
Whether funds are raised through community/crowdfunding or raised corporately…or both, the advantages will outweigh the surprisingly good value funding required. Please contact either Charlotte on 07966 268633 or Warren Gilbert 0n 07850 698700 or DM us to discuss how we can tailor your stake to suit you.
Benefits can include:
Tickets to watch all the action at any of the championship rounds
Space on the car for your own branding/names
Coverage on social media
Live race coverage
End of season personalised canvas of the race car and team
Drivers available for live stream and motivational speaking
Reels and stories to work for you

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Well, what else are you gonna do on a Wednesday evening? 😜
What a fantastic night at the GT Cup Awards! Proud to collect the trophies for the efforts of our whole team. Just a few trophies to celebrate winning GTC with the Hex.com Lamborghini Huracan. Just sad not to have the Lunn's and Aidan Cole there with Jensen detained by business and Aidan on holiday! Also missed were Charlotte Birch and Ollie Tyler. The best bit of the night? Our chief engineer, Brian Howard, finally receiving the recognition he so rightly deserved, winning the Sparkies Trophy for his constant service to every team up and down the pitlane when they needed his invaluable help! Many congratulations to Hannah, Chris and all the team for organising yet another fabulous awards night. So what next now that 2022 is all done on the racing front? We're already setting the wheels in motion for 2023 and the plan is of course to win outright. Maybe 2023 will finally be our year! First photo dump. Thank you iandl.photograhy! More to follow.
