Awnings and Tents for Motorsport and Racing

Motorsport success is all about preparation and performance, and having a solid paddock setup is part of the game. From sheltering vehicles and equipment to hosting VIPs, the right race tent or motorsport awning can elevate your race day experience, ensuring comfort, organisation, and a professional appearance. Let's explore the range of motorsport shelters available to meet various needs—from quick, pop-up gazebos to heavy-duty race paddock awnings designed for full coverage and branding.

Pop-Up Motorsport Gazebos: Versatile, Flexible Shelters for Smaller Setups

For teams that need a quick, adaptable race day awning, pop-up motorsport gazebos are an excellent choice. These shelters are lightweight yet durable, making them perfect for events where space or time is limited. Ideal as temporary garages, team hospitality spaces, or merchandise stalls, pop-up gazebos come in various sizes and can be set up in minutes.

• Multiple Uses: Use as a car cover, team base, or even as a sales and fan interaction point.

• Weather-Resistant and Sturdy: The aluminium frame offers reliable shelter without the bulk of larger structures, ensuring stability even in rougher conditions.

• Quick to Set Up, Simple to Transport: These compact shelters allow teams to move quickly from event to event without sacrificing quality.

Popular for everything from weekend meets to full-day events, pop-up gazebos bring speed, flexibility, and protection, especially for teams on the go.

Printed Motorsport Tents

Brand visuals are very important in motorsport, with the whole sport driven by sponsorship and investment money that enables talented drivers to get out and do what they love and what they're best at. To appeal to more sponsors, then a branded motorsport tent is something that can massively help.

Whether it's a simple team logo or you have your whole motorsport gazebo kitted out to look exactly like your vehicle livery, showing that you're invested in a professional appearance will make you much more attractive to the people willing to put their money into your brand.

Why Every Motorsport Team Needs a Quality Shelter in the Paddock

In the high-energy environment of motorsport paddocks, effective shelter is a must. A well-designed motorsport gazebo or race tent provides much more than weather protection; it creates a base for everything from race prep to VIP hospitality and storage. Here are some essential uses for paddock shelters:

• Vehicle and Equipment Protection: Race cars, bikes, tools, and spares are a team’s lifeline, and keeping them sheltered is key to staying race-ready.

• VIP and Hospitality Areas: A professional, welcoming space for sponsors, guests, and team members enhances the experience and strengthens team relationships.

• Storage and Catering Areas: A well-organised space keeps essential items close by, from food and refreshments to tools and spares.

• Customisable Branding: With the option to fully brand the space, a paddock shelter doubles as a mobile billboard, helping teams and sponsors make a lasting impression on fans and media alike.

From large-scale races to grassroots events, having a flexible, robust shelter gives every motorsport team the edge they need to focus on performance.
