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.
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.

The first UK (right hand drive) C8 Corvette Fabspeed Exhaust system with Kook header install complete! Video up next! #corvette #corvettestingray #classiccorvette #corvettecarclubuk #corvetteownersclub #fabspeedmotorsport #kooksheaders #c8corvette
Something to get you fired up for mid week! Couldn’t wait for this one to arrive in! The new C8 Corvette handed over to us to get to work on the very first UK installed Kooks headers with Fabspeed exhaust system and performance cats. The system retains the electronic exhaust valves. Finished off with some very pretty carbon exhaust tips. Enhanced performance and a system that weighs less than a 1/3rd of the original and with a sound that we are assured is sensational! We’re nearly done so be sure to hang around for our next post later today!😍😈😍😈 #corvettec8 #fabspeed #kooksheaders #corvette #classiccorvetteclubuk #exhaustsystem #corvetteperformance

What a cool guy! So nice to chat with Cory Costa’s Crypto Coins on his YouTube channel tonight to tell everyone about our team and what we do, where we’ve been and where we want to go! Really feel like we are a part of the force that is the Hex community! Plenty of interesting content on his channel.

Topcats Racing is looking for a funded racing driver to partner with Charlotte Gilbert in the Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo in GT Cup for 2023. Charlotte Gilbert co-drove the car to become 2022 GTC Champions. Ideally, the team would like to attract a driver that can challenge for the title again next season. Topcats Racing are long established with a proven track record, having also won GTC and Team Champions in 2021. The team ran two Lamborghini Huracans this year and a Ginetta G55 in later races of the season. It reflects the teams diverse expertise and capacity, culminating in zero mechanical failures throughout the entire championship for all cars and podium finishes across every race weekend. The team pride themselves in their professionalism and presentation whilst maintaining a wholly family feel.
To enquire, please contact Warren Gilbert on 07850 698700 or email: warren@topcatsracing.com
Arrived at Snetterton with our freshly wrapped Ginetta G55 💪
Looking forward to the final round of the season with Jensen Lunn and Charlotte Gilbert in the Huracan Super Trofeo along with Sam Randon and Charlotte Birch in the G55.

Wins didn’t come on Sunday for the Jensen and Charlotte Gilbert duo in the HEX.com Lamborghini. In the sprint driven by Charlotte, being held up by two GT3 cars on the opening lap allowed the lead Webb Lamborghini to breakaway but once clear Charlotte G. was closing in 1 second a lap until rain came and chaos ensued with everyone out on slicks. No win but a 3rd was enough to maintain championship positions. Because of the 20 second pit stop success penalty the duo had to serve in the 50 minute feature race followed by being blocked in the pit lane by another competitor(!) wiped out our big lead in the pitstop race the Webb car was able to leapfrog into the lead and with new tyres bolted onto the 3rd placed Ferrari at the pitstop driven by prodriver, Benny Simonsen, Charlotte couldn’t hold him off in the closing lap and settled for 3rd to safeguard the class lead. The team were pleased to welcome rapid Pro Sport driver Sam Randon to the team to join Charlotte Birch in the Ginetta G55. They have been able to carry over the points earned while she and Charlotte Gilbert had been driving Lambo No. 3 until Warren’s crash at Silverstone, this means we are still in contention for the team championship. They were able to secure wins across the whole weekend. It’s the season finale at Snetterton on 8/9th where the titles are still to be fought for! #gtcup #fiawim #lamborghini #irondames #hex #womeninmotorsport
Win, win, win and win. 😁 🏆🏆🏆🏆
What an amazing day for the team!! Jensen Lunn finished comfortably in first place for the #9 car in the sprint race with fastest lap🥇😁
Charlotte Gilbert started the pit stop race from first in class and after an amazing drive, she handed over to Jensen with a 30 second lead, setting fastest lap along the way!! Jensen managed the gap to make it 2 out 2 for the @hexcrypto Lamborghini super Trofeo! We’ve taken maximum points from both races meaning the lambo has moved up to 1st in GTC and 4th to 2nd in the overall standings😁
The number #3 ginetta with Charlotte birch behind the wheel had a strong race finishing ahead of the GTA class ginetta! 🏆🤜🏻🤛🏻
Charlotte birch handed over to Sam Randon in the pit stop race. After some blistering lap times he took the lead of GTA and held on for the win🏆💨💨
Let’s hope we can carry on this momentum into tomorrows races!!
Let’s go cats!!
