Meet the Topcats Team

Topcats Racing was founded in 2002 by husband and wife, Charlotte and Warren Gilbert who are supported by a team of skilled engineers.

Their shared love of the sport and desire to run their own team was realised in 2002 when they founded Topcats Racing and continued to run Marcos in British GT alongside a car in the TVR Tuscan Challenge. The team went on to convert an AJPV8 TVR Tuscan Challenge into a 2 seater for track days allowing TVR fans to drive the car for themselves with Charlotte instructing from the passenger seat! A second Tuscan was converted, and the team ran both cars on the Silverstone GP and Donington circuits for 6 years, enabling around 400 TVR enthusiasts to fulfil an otherwise impossible dream!

In the same year the TVR Service Division was established and the team very quickly filled their service diary. The team made an initial move to another building, on the park where they are still located to accommodate the growing business, with the ambition to build their own custom-built workshop designed around a facility that could be used and enjoyed by clients.

This was realised in August 2014 with a Grand Opening of their 8000sq.ft facility attended by over 300 cars!
