Party Tent

Pop-up Pit Perch

Discover the Gala Performance Pop Up Pit Perch - a portable pit wall stand for timing, strategy and comms. Built on a robust pop up frame with PVC covers, lighting, power and branding options for UK and European endurance racing teams.

Motorsport Pit Perch & Pit Wall Stand

The pit wall is where race strategy lives. Lap times, stint calls, traffic, safety cars and weather all get filtered through one point: your pit perch. Our Gala Performance Pop Up Pit Perch gives teams a professional, sheltered race control centre that fits within most pit lanes, builds in minutes and moves easily between circuits.

Whether you are racing in C1 endurance, Fun Cup, club-level series or long-distance GT events, a dedicated pit perch helps your team see more, decide faster and stay calm when the race goes chaotic.

What is a Motorsport Pit Perch?

A pit perch is a compact pit wall stand used as the control hub for timing, strategy and radio comms. Instead of balancing laptops on a wobbly table or standing in the rain for six hours, your engineers and team managers can work from a sheltered structure with:

  • A solid work surface for laptops, timing screens and radios

  • Clear view of the start straight and pit lane

  • Space to stand side by side and make decisions together

  • Covers that keep weather, glare and distractions under control

In endurance and multi-class racing, a pit perch is as important as the awning and the tools. It turns a pit wall into a proper command post.

Why Choose a Pop Up Pit Perch?

Traditional pit perches are often heavy, bespoke structures that cost a fortune and take ages to assemble. Our Pop Up Pit Perch is designed around how race teams actually travel and work:

  • Packs down into a compact unit for vans and trailers

  • Uses a proven pop up framework for fast pitching

  • Fits within most UK and European pit lanes

  • Can be branded to match your race tent, livery and sponsors

You get the key benefits of a professional timing stand, in a package that makes sense for real-world budgets and club or national level paddocks.

Who Is the Pit Perch For?

The Gala Performance Pop Up Pit Perch is ideal for:

  • Endurance racing teams
    Multi-driver teams in series like C1 endurance, Fun Cup and club enduros who need a fixed base on the wall for timing and stint planning.

  • Sprint teams with serious data focus
    Teams running at circuits such as Silverstone Circuit, Donington Park or Brands Hatch who want a dedicated strategy area separate from the garage.

  • Club and national level operations
    Squads stepping up their presentation, professionalism and paddock presence without moving straight into full custom pit structures.

  • Event organisers and series
    Championships needing branded timing and control points on pit lane or start / finish for officials and staff.

If your team spends more time leaning on cold pit wall concrete than working from a proper base, a pit perch is the next logical upgrade.

Pair Your Pit Perch With Trackside Infrastructure

The Pop Up Pit Perch works best as part of a complete paddock setup. Many teams combine it with:

  • Printed pop up race tents for cars, tools and crew

  • MQ-65 freestanding race awnings for hospitality and VIPs

  • Swisstrax modular flooring for clean, safe work areas

  • Tension fabric pit walling for smart, organised garages

  • Flags and PVC banners to boost sponsor visibility trackside

Building a consistent look from pit lane to paddock not only helps workflow, it reinforces your brand and gives sponsors the exposure they expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pit perch used for in motorsport?
A pit perch is used as a central hub on the pit wall for timing, strategy and communication. It gives engineers and team managers a sheltered space with a clear view of the circuit, so they can monitor lap times, talk to the driver, plan pit stops and react quickly to safety cars or weather changes.
Is the Gala Performance Pop Up Pit Perch suitable for UK and European circuits?
Yes. The Pop Up Pit Perch is designed to fit most standard pit lanes at UK and European race tracks, and its compact footprint makes it practical for club and national championships. If you are unsure about a specific circuit, the team can advise on dimensions and clearances.
How long does it take to set up the pit perch?
Set up time will vary by crew, but most teams can build the Pop Up Pit Perch in minutes with two people. It uses a pop up style frame, so there are no complicated tools or long assembly processes, which is ideal when paddock schedules are tight.
Can the pit perch be branded for my team and sponsors?
Yes. The PVC covers can be custom printed with team colours, logos and sponsor branding. This helps your pit perch match your race tent, livery and garage setup, while giving partners extra visibility on the pit wall.
What other equipment pairs well with a pit perch?
Most teams pair their pit perch with printed race tents, garage walling, modular flooring and branded flags or banners. This creates a joined-up look from the pit wall back to the paddock and helps keep tools, staff and guests organised throughout a race weekend.
