Every endurance team needs a reliable race tent or paddock awning. Our Pro 40, Pro 50 and Pro 60 pop up awnings are built specifically for motorsport use, with fast deployment and heavy duty construction.
Why heavy duty race tents are essential for endurance racing:
Protect cars, tools, tyres and personnel from sun, wind and rain
Quick to erect, even with a small crew or late night setup
Available in multiple sizes, from 3 m x 3 m up to 6 m x 6 m
Fully brandable canopies and walls for team and sponsor visibility
Compatible with anchorage systems to keep everything secure in bad weather
If you are running a 24 hour race, a strong, stable awning is as important as a good set of wets.
Endurance racing is as much about sponsor exposure as it is about lap times. A clean, consistent and branded paddock space makes your team look professional in person and in every photograph or broadcast shot.
With Gala Performance you can add:
Custom printed gazebo walls
Feather flags and sail flags
PVC and mesh paddock banners
Branding benefits for endurance teams:
Full colour dye sublimated print for crisp logos and photography
Sponsor friendly backdrops for interviews and social content
Interchangeable walls so you can swap partners between events
Consistent visual identity from pit lane to hospitality area
Endurance racing means long hours in all conditions. Oil spills, fuel, gravel, rain and mud are part of the weekend. Swisstrax modular flooring gives you a cleaner, safer and more professional paddock environment.
Benefits of Swisstrax flooring for endurance racing:
Snap together tiles with no tools required
Self draining design helps manage spills and wet weather
Resistant to fuels, oils and heavy race car loads
Instantly upgrades the look of your awning or garage space
Used by professional race teams and paddock managers across Europe
If you are spending all night double stinting and changing tyres, a clean, flat working surface is a big win.
Pit lanes at endurance events are busy, tight and heavily controlled. A standard pop up tent usually will not fit, and traditional fixed pit perches are often expensive and over engineered for what most club and semi pro teams actually need.
That is why we developed the Gala Performance Pop Up Pit Perch.
Key features of the Gala Performance Pop Up Pit Perch:
500 gsm black PVC covers that can be printed with team branding
Built on our proven Pro 40 style framework for stability and quick setup
Integrated LED strip lighting and power outputs for timing and radios
Heavy duty internal table with monitor mounts for timing screens
Pockets for number boards and signalling equipment
Designed to fit within typical pit lane width restrictions
Side panels that can be removed or rolled up for fast access
If you are running strategy through the night, your pit wall needs to be as organised as your garage.
Endurance events run in all weathers, and a well built awning is only safe if it is properly anchored. Race tent ballast and anchorage should be considered essential, not optional.
Popular anchorage options for endurance paddocks:
Steel cast leg weights around 13 kg each for hard standing
Water weights up to 50 kg per leg for extra security
Strap kits and pegs for grass or softer ground
PVC sandbag style ballast bags for flexible placement
Correct anchoring protects your equipment, neighbouring teams and the event itself. Many circuits and organisers now insist on suitable ballast for race tents and awnings.
We do not simply ship boxes from a warehouse. The paddock equipment we supply is used at real endurance events by teams who race hard and expect their kit to keep up.
