Mitchell Gilbert (born 10 May 1995) is a Malaysian-Australian racing driver. He has participated under both nationalities at various points in his career.
Born in Kuala Lumpur, Gilbert began his racing career in 2002 in karting, where he was active until 2010. In 2009 he finished third in the KF2 - class of the CIK-FIA World Cup.
At the end of 2010 Gilbert debuted in Formula racing in the winter championship of the British Formula Renault Championship for Fortec Motorsport, under an Australian licence. While his teammate Alex Lynn was champion in this class, Gilbert was tenth, with a best result of third place. In 2011 he made his debut in the main championship of British Formula Renault. While his teammates Lynn and Oliver Rowland ended the season first and second, respectively, Gilbert was fifth in the championship, including a victory at Croft. In 2011, he participated in three race weekends of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 for Fortec.
In 2012 Gilbert made his debut in Formula 3 in the German Formula 3 Championship for Performance Racing. With two victories on the TT Circuit Assen and Lausitzring, he finished fourth in the championship behind Jimmy Eriksson, Lucas Auer and Kimiya Sato. At the end of the season he also took part in the Macau Grand Prix for Mücke Motorsport, where he finished eighteenth.
In 2013 Gilbert stepped up to the FIA European Formula Three Championship, where he also drove for Mücke. Only at the Nürburgring and Circuit Park Zandvoort did he manage to score points, with a best result of eighth at the Nürburgring, and finished 23rd in the championship with ten points. In 2014 Gilbert moved to Fortec Motorsport, contesting the first six rounds and finishing 16th in the standings with four points finishes.
In 2014, Gilbert made his debut in the GP3 Series at Silverstone, where he replaced Denis Nagulin at Trident. He competed in five rounds and was replaced twice with Luca Ghiotto and Patrick Kujala having failed to score a point. Gilbert remained in GP3 in 2015, switching to Carlin Motorsport. He netted a sole point at Monza in his only full season and was dropped at seasons' end.
From 2016, Gilbert switched to GT racing and began competing with a Malaysian licence. He finished third in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, before moving into GT3 with Audi in 2017.[1]
Gilbert left the GT racing scene at the end of 2018, and now runs his fathers' furniture business in Ho Chi Minh City whilst sporadically competing in the Indian Racing League.[2] [3]
