Gala Performance is a brand which was borne of a sponsorship deal between Gala Tent and the now-World Endurance Championship title holders United Autosports, but it has endured and indeed grown every year in the past five years due to the undoubted passion and love for motorsport that we have. It only took a couple of years for our directors to swap the glitz and glamour of VIP hospitality suites for the dirt and oil of the pit garage. Here’s an overview into the directors of Gala Performance, and the drivers of Gala Performance Motorsport.

Mark

Mark Thompson

Mark is the successful MD of Gala Tent Ltd, helping to build the business from humble beginnings to a multi-million pound market leader. A shrewd businessman with an intense passion for motor racing, Mark was key to founding Gala Performance in 2016, combining almost two decades of business expertise with a lifetime of passion for racing. Following completion of his racing licence along with fellow racer Andrew, both decided to dive into the world of competitive racing and the Gala Performance Motorsport team was born.
