Mitchell Gilbert (born 10 May 1995) is a racing driver with dual Malaysian and Australian nationality, having competed under both flags during his career.

Career

Originating from Kuala Lumpur, Gilbert started karting in 2002 and continued until 2010. His notable achievement during this period was securing third place in the KF2 category at the 2009 CIK-FIA World Cup.

He entered formula racing towards the end of 2010, participating in the British Formula Renault winter series for Fortec Motorsport under an Australian licence, where he finished tenth overall and recorded a best finish of third place. The following year, he contested the full British Formula Renault season, ending fifth in the championship with one victory at Croft Circuit. Additionally, he took part in three rounds of the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series with Fortec that same year.

In 2012, Gilbert progressed to Formula 3, competing in the German Formula 3 Championship for Performance Racing. He achieved two victories at TT Circuit Assen and Lausitzring, concluding the season fourth in the standings behind Jimmy Eriksson, Lucas Auer, and Kimiya Sato. That year, he also raced at the Macau Grand Prix with Mücke Motorsport, finishing eighteenth.

The next step saw Gilbert advance to the FIA European Formula Three Championship in 2013 with Mücke Motorsport, where he scored points twice and finished 23rd overall with ten points. In 2014, he moved back to Fortec Motorsport for six rounds, ending the season 16th with four points-scoring finishes.

Later in 2014, Gilbert made his debut in the GP3 Series at Silverstone driving for Trident Racing, replacing Denis Nagulin. Across five rounds, he did not score any points and was replaced twice during the season. He remained in GP3 for 2015 with Carlin Motorsport, scoring a single point at Monza before being released at the end of the campaign.

Starting in 2016, Gilbert switched to GT racing under a Malaysian licence. He secured third place in the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia before transitioning to GT3 racing with Audi in 2017.

Gilbert retired from professional motorsport at the close of 2018 and currently oversees his father's furniture enterprise based in Ho Chi Minh City. He occasionally participates in the Indian Racing League.
