Gala Tent MQ-65 vs Gatel – Which is the Best Karting Awning?

Looking at Gatel Awnings? Here's Why You Should Consider the MQ-65 Instead.

Gatel awnings have become a popular choice among karting teams—but are they the best option? The Gala Tent MQ-65 is a stronger, more cost-effective alternative that delivers the durability, flexibility, and professional-grade performance that motorsport teams need.

• More Robust Frame: The MQ-65 features a 65mm aluminium profile, compared to Gatel’s maximum 45mm framework. More strength, more stability, more reliability.

• Heavy-Duty PVC Covers: Our 650gsm industrial-grade PVC is built to withstand race-day conditions.

• Fully Customisable: Like the Gatel, the MQ-65 is fully customisable. Want windows, doors, or full team branding? You’ve got it.

• More Affordable: The MQ-65 provides professional-level shelter without the premium price tag.

• UK-Based Aftersales Support: Unlike Gatel, our expert team is right here in the UK for any advice, spare parts, or modifications you might need.

  
  

Head to Head Comparison

Why Karting Teams Choose the MQ-65

Engineered for Maximum Strength

In a high-intensity race environment, your awning needs to handle wind, weather, and heavy daily use. The 65mm reinforced frame of the MQ-65 offers superior strength over Gatel’s 45mm models, meaning your team gets a more stable, long-lasting structure.

Fully Customisable for Your Team’s Needs

Just like Gatel, the MQ-65 can be fully tailored to your requirements. Want full team branding, custom-sized windows, or even a solid door setup? No problem.

Heavy-Duty Weather Protection

Our 650gsm PVC covers offer professional-grade protection against wind, rain, and UV exposure, keeping your paddock setup race-ready in all conditions.

UK-Based Motorsport Specialists
