In motorsport, money is fuel, and without it, you simply don’t race. For drivers and teams looking to climb the ranks, sponsorship is essential. But finding sponsors isn’t just about performance on the track—it’s about how you present yourself off it. A branded motorsport tent is one of the most effective tools for showcasing your team’s professionalism, attracting sponsors, and standing out in a crowded paddock.
Why Invest in a Branded Motorsport Tent?
A printed race tent isn’t just a shelter; it’s a statement. Here’s why it’s a must-have for any serious team:
1. Make a Professional Impression
Whether you’re aiming for Formula 1 or thriving in grassroots motorsport, first impressions matter. A branded tent creates a polished, professional image that tells sponsors, competitors, and fans that your team is serious. It’s not just about keeping your gear dry—it’s about standing out for all the right reasons.
2. Attract Sponsors with Visual Appeal
Sponsors want visibility, and a branded tent gives it to them in spades. By displaying your current sponsors’ logos prominently on your shelter, you show potential backers that you’re an organised, marketable investment. The more your tent grabs attention, the more appealing you are to future sponsors.
3. Showcase Your Identity
Your team is your brand, and a printed tent is a canvas for expressing it. Whether you go for a sleek, minimalist design or a bold, sponsor-heavy display, a branded tent reinforces your identity in the paddock.
Which Branded Tent is Right for You?
Choosing the perfect branded race tent depends on the size of your operation and what you need to cover. Whether you’re sheltering a kart, motorbike, or a full team setup, we’ve got the right solution.
Pop-Up Race Tents: Compact and portable, these are the go-to choice for private racers and smaller teams. Available in sizes from 3m x 3m to 4m x 8m, they’re quick to assemble and ideal for covering tools, vehicles, or smaller paddock spaces.
Heavy-Duty Race Awnings: Need something bigger? The MQ-65 awning is a robust, expansive option, perfect for larger vehicles, VIP hospitality spaces, or teams running multiple vehicles. With sizes ranging from 4m x 6m to 6m x 12m, it’s built to handle the pressure of professional motorsport.
Both options can be customised with your team branding or sponsor logos, so no matter your choice, you’ll make an impact in the paddock. And if you’re not sure which one suits your needs, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Match Your Tent to Your Vehicle’s Livery
Few things make as big an impact in the paddock as a race tent that perfectly matches your vehicle’s livery. At Gala Performance, we love seeing teams go all-in on their branding, and matching your tent to your car, bike, or kart is the ultimate way to turn heads.
With our dye-sublimation printing process, we can create intricate, high-definition designs that align seamlessly with your vehicle’s colours and patterns. Imagine your car sitting proudly under a tent that mirrors its bold stripes, sleek curves, or sponsor logos—it’s a striking visual statement that screams professionalism.
Matching your tent to your livery isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about showing sponsors and fans that every detail of your team is planned to perfection. It’s this level of cohesion that gets noticed, whether you’re chasing sponsorships or simply wanting to stand out in a crowded paddock.
Benefits of Custom Branding for Motorsport
Branding your tent isn’t just about looking good—it’s about creating opportunities, strengthening your team’s identity, and leaving a lasting impression.
1. Visibility for Sponsors
Sponsors want to be seen, and a branded tent offers the perfect platform. By prominently displaying logos on your shelter, you’re not just giving existing sponsors their due—you’re showing potential sponsors how much value they’d gain by working with your team.
2. Stand Out in the Paddock
Motorsport paddocks are busy, chaotic places, but a bold, branded tent ensures your setup gets noticed. Whether it’s fans looking for their favourite team or officials recognising your professionalism, your tent becomes a beacon.
3. Enhance Fan Engagement
Fans are drawn to teams that look cohesive and polished. A branded tent creates a welcoming space where they can interact with your team, snap photos, or just admire your setup.
4. Build Your Reputation
Consistency in branding—from your vehicle’s livery to your tent and race suits—shows that your team is well-organised and ready to compete at any level. This reputation can open doors for sponsorships, partnerships, and bigger opportunities down the road.

At Gala Performance, we offer two printing methods to suit your needs:
Heat-Pressed Vinyl Printing: Ideal for quick turnarounds, this method allows for clean, sharp logos on our stock colour options.
Dye-Sublimation Printing: For unlimited design possibilities, this process offers full-colour, intricate designs that can even match your vehicle’s livery.
