Drifting Gazebos, Flooring & Branding | Gala Performance

Drifting is one of the most visually spectacular and community-driven forms of motorsport. From grassroots events to pro-level competitions, drivers are constantly creating video content, filming build reels, and showcasing their setups online — which means your paddock presence matters as much as your on-track performance.

Pop-Up Awnings for Drift Teams

A strong paddock setup helps your car look its best in photos, gives your crew room to work, and helps your brand stand out in a busy drift event environment. Our Gala Shade Pro 50 is the go-to awning for serious drift crews who want maximum space and maximum impact.

  • Sizes up to 4 m × 8 m for dual-car setups or workshop + chill zones

  • Reinforced 50 mm aluminium hex legs for paddock-level durability

  • Waterproof and UV-resistant covers in multiple colours

  • Packs down into wheeled storage bags — drift-ready transport

  • Compatible with full printed branding across roof and walls

Popular drifting setup:
Mirror your car’s livery on the awning for a unified, professional paddock aesthetic that looks killer in photos and social clips.

Swisstrax Modular Flooring for Drift Paddocks

When it comes to working under your drift car, nothing beats Swisstrax. We introduced Swisstrax to the UK scene back in 2017, and it remains one of the most iconic choices for drift garages and paddock bays.

  • Self-draining, non-slip surface — ideal for wet drift events

  • Fast-deploy interlocking tiles

  • Available in 17 colour options for unique layouts

  • Great for showcasing your drift car in media content

  • Easy to clean and perfect for mobile workshops

Swisstrax instantly transforms a plain paddock space into something that looks pro, polished, and ready for cameras.

Printed Branding for Drift Cars & Paddock Setups

Drifting is visual — everything from the car to the crew shirts to the awning needs to look good on camera. Our printing options help teams bring their personal style and sponsor branding into their paddock environment.

Two printing options available:

  • Vinyl printing — cost-effective, sharp graphics

  • Full dye-sublimation — unlimited colour, full custom artwork

Perfect for:

  • Printed roofs and walls

  • Sponsor-rich designs

  • Team logos and livery-themed artwork

  • Media interviews, reels and feature videos

Essential Accessories for Drift Team Setups

A professional paddock needs more than just a tent. Drift teams typically add:

Stackable Water Weights

The safest and most practical way to anchor your awning at drift tracks.

  • Light when empty, 50 kg when filled

  • Stackable for extra holding power

  • Safer than metal weights

PVC Banners

Big, bold, cost-effective branding for attaching to fences, awning walls or media areas.

Printed Flags

A drifting staple — perfect for sponsors or team colours and easy to spot across the paddock.

These finishing touches help your paddock “pop” and make you more noticeable in highlight reels and event photos.
