Inflatable Race Tents, Shelters and Arches for Motorsport
The INFL8 range gives race teams, circuits and sponsors bold structures with no frame to build. Inflate in minutes with an electric pump, hold pressure across the race weekend, and print every panel in full team livery. Race shelters, inflatable gazebos, start-line arches and paddock furniture.
Inflatable Racing Structures Built for Real Circuits
INFL8 structures suit teams who need fast, reliable cover without dragging half the workshop with them. They inflate quickly, stay stable with the right anchoring, and give you a professional focal point wherever you put them. If you would rather have a framed structure, the pop up race tents range covers the same ground with poles.
From motorsport paddocks and pit exits to grid walks, fan zones and sponsor activations, the range gives you big visual impact and a practical working or hospitality space that is ready when you are. Browse the full range across the motorsport tents silo if you are still working out what your paddock needs.
Inflatable Race Shelters and Gazebos
Inflatable race shelters are a fast alternative to a framed awning or pop up gazebo. They go from bag to fully inflated in a few minutes, which suits teams that are always on the move or running back-to-back events. Teams that need clear-span space and a heavier structure should look at the heavy-duty motorsport awnings instead.
The sealed-air shelters hold pressure for days, so you are not babysitting pumps or running extra power. For a walk-in workspace with enclosed sides, the 4m x 4m INFL8 shelter with walls is a popular starting size. When the chequered flag drops they deflate and pack down small, which matters when you are tight on space in a van, trailer or race truck. The inflatable gazebo version uses taller legs and an open front, giving you walk-in access and clear headroom for wheeling a bike or kart straight in, which riders will recognise from our motorcycle race tents.
Teams use them as a paddock base, a branded fan zone, hospitality cover for guests and partners, or a backdrop for driver signings and media. Fully printable Dacron covers turn the shelter into a branded hub, and you can see the wider print options on our branded motorsport tents page.

Inflatable Race Arches: Start Lines, Grids and Paddock Entries
An inflatable race arch creates instant attention at a start line, a finish line, a pit exit or a paddock entrance. Circuits, series organisers and sponsors use them because they give a huge uninterrupted print area and a clear point of direction that reads from a distance and on camera. Pair one with a branded race tent and the whole paddock reads as one team.
Every arch uses sealed-air Dacron tubing that holds pressure for up to 20 days, so it goes up with an electric pump and stays up through the meeting. When you are done, the tubing packs into the zipped weighted base feet, so the arch stores itself with no separate bag or crate.
Choose your arch
- INFL8 Club, 6m x 4m, 60cm tubing. The entry point, suited to club races, regional paddocks and compact entrances.
- INFL8 Sprint, 6m x 4m or 8m x 4.6m, 80cm tubing. A stronger silhouette for finish lines and sponsor entrances that need to be seen from a distance.
- INFL8 Elite, 8m x 4.8m or 12m x 4.8m, 90cm tubing. The largest spans, wide enough for vehicles or high-traffic entrances at national events.
Used for grid walks and start-line branding, pit lane and paddock entry points, sponsor activation at club and national events, and track parades or charity days.

Inflatable Paddock Furniture
Inflatable does not stop at shelters. INFL8 Chesterfield-style sofas give you quick, comfortable seating that looks the part in hospitality, garages and paddocks. They inflate in minutes, wipe clean, and pack down into a small, light bundle when you are done.
Suited to VIP and sponsor lounges, team briefing areas, green rooms and interview spaces, and podium or media zones. A simple add-on for any team, series or promo crew, and it sits alongside the rest of the tent accessories range for weights, walls and storm kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an inflatable race tent take to set up?
Most inflate in a few minutes with the supplied electric pump. There is no frame to build, so one or two people can have a shelter or an arch standing well before first practice.
Do they need a pump running all weekend?
The sealed-air shelters and arches hold pressure for up to 20 days, so you inflate once and leave it. The inflatable gazebo runs on continuous air pressure instead, so it stays connected to its pump while in use.
Are inflatables stable in wind at a circuit?
Anchor every time. Use the weighted base feet and pegs or straps into soft ground, and add weights on hard standing. Circuit paddocks funnel wind, so an unanchored inflatable will move.
Can inflatable race tents and arches be printed with team branding?
Yes. Every panel is dye-sublimation printed to your artwork, so team names, race numbers and sponsor logos are part of the structure. The large uninterrupted surfaces are what make inflatables so strong for sponsor visibility. See the branded motorsport tents page for the full print options.
What size inflatable race arch do I need?
Arches run from the 6m x 4m Club, through the 6m x 4m and 8m x 4.6m Sprint, up to the 8m x 4.8m and 12m x 4.8m Elite. Bigger tube diameters give a stronger silhouette and more print area, and the largest spans clear vehicles at an entrance.
How long is the lead time on a printed inflatable?
Printed inflatables are made to order, with a typical lead time of two to three weeks from artwork approval. Get in touch and we will confirm the current lead time with your quote.
