Introducing the INFL8: The Motorsport Shelter That Works as Hard as You Do

In motorsport, everything moves fast — the cars, the schedule, the weather. When you arrive at the paddock or pit lane, there's no time for faffing about with complicated setups. You need kit that’s ready to go, looks the part, and doesn’t eat into the schedule.

That’s where the Gala Performance INFL8 comes in.

This inflatable motorsport shelter is lightweight, rapid to deploy, and fully brandable — giving your team a slick, professional base of operations wherever you set up.

Why We Built the INFL8

We’ve worked with teams long enough to know the drill. You’re chasing daylight, trying to unload, set up, tune in, and sort tyres before the first briefing even starts.

Standard marquees do the job — but they take time, tools, and extra muscle. Meanwhile, pop-up gazebos are great… until the wind picks up or you need something a bit flashier to impress sponsors.

So we thought: what if we gave teams an option that’s easy to transport, dead simple to put up, fully customisable, and tough enough to handle trackside punishment?

That option is the INFL8.

What Is It?

The INFL8 is a sealed-air inflatable event shelter with a 3m x 3m footprint and a unique motorsport twist.

Made from premium Dacron and heat-welded seams, it’s got the durability of a proper event structure without the frame, nuts, bolts or stress. You inflate it once, and that’s it — no blower needed to keep it up.

It goes from bag to paddock-ready in about 10 minutes.

Designed for the Track

The INFL8 isn’t just a pretty tent. It’s built with practical motorsport use in mind:

• Small footprint, big presence: Fits into tight paddock spots, yet still gives enough space for a strategy table, tyres, or a mobile service bay.

• Instant setup: Save valuable time with an inflation system that doesn’t require tools or a pit crew.

• Weather-ready: Wind? Rain? No problem. It anchors down securely and shrugs off the elements.

• Fully brandable: Print your team colours, logos, sponsors, or event branding across all four walls and the roof.

And if you want to make more impact, multiple INFL8s can be connected together to create modular team areas or hospitality zones.

Real-World Applications

We’ve seen INFL8s used as:

• Pit wall strategy hubs at trackdays and endurance races

• Sponsor activation tents at public events

• Fan zone booths for driver meet-and-greets

• Mobile tyre garages for karting or rally teams

• Rapid-deployment garages when space is tight or time is tighter

If you’ve got a use case, the INFL8’s probably up for it.

First Impressions Matter

Let’s be honest — part of your presence in the paddock is about performance, and part is about the way you present yourself.

A battered old gazebo doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in your professionalism. But a fully printed, inflatable shelter with your team identity dialled in? That’s a different story.

It looks good on the gram.
It makes sponsors smile.
It shows you mean business.
