MotorSport Vision Race Hub: A Standout Hospitality Structure for GB3 and GB4

MotorSport Vision (MSV) is one of Europe’s leading motorsport organisations and operates some of the UK’s best-known racing circuits, including Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Oulton Park, Snetterton and Cadwell Park.
Through MotorSport Vision Racing, the company organises an extensive portfolio of race championships and series, including GB3 and GB4—two important stages on the single-seater development ladder. Learn more about MotorSport Vision.

The GB3 Championship, partnered by the BRDC, is the UK’s leading single-seater category and an established proving ground for young drivers progressing towards FIA Formula 3 and the higher levels of international motorsport.

The championship combines high-performance cars, professional teams and racing at leading UK and European circuits, giving aspiring drivers valuable experience in a competitive environment. Its past graduates include drivers who have progressed into Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula E and other major international championships. Discover the GB3 Championship.

The GB4 Championship, also partnered by the BRDC, provides an accessible entry point into professional single-seater racing. It was created to give drivers graduating from karting or club-level motorsport a cost-effective route into slicks-and-wings competition.

GB4 focuses on driver development, close racing and manageable operating costs, providing an important stepping stone into GB3 and other higher-level single-seater categories. Discover the GB4 Championship and MSV’s overview of the series.

The Challenge

Earlier in 2026, MotorSport Vision approached The Awning Company to create a new Race Hub for its GB3 and GB4 championships.

The brief was to produce a substantial hospitality suite between two race trailers, creating a central space where championship personnel, drivers, teams, partners and guests could meet throughout a race weekend.
At 17m x 13m, the finished structure needed to provide a large and practical interior while also delivering something equally important: a distinctive visual presence.

MSV wanted the Race Hub to stand out in the paddock and move away from the appearance of a conventional motorsport awning. The frontage therefore needed to feel more like a premium, permanent hospitality venue while retaining the flexibility and practicality required for use at different race circuits.

The Solution

Working closely with the MSV team, we designed and manufactured a bespoke awning structure spanning the space between two race trailers.

The structure creates an impressive 221-square-metre hospitality suite, using the trailers as part of the overall configuration and transforming the area between them into a professional and welcoming Race Hub.

To give the structure its distinctive appearance, we created a full-width frontage using aluminium-framed, full-height toughened glass wall panels. The extensive glazing allows natural light into the hospitality area and gives the building an open, contemporary feel, while still providing a clear division between the busy paddock and the space inside.

A recessed entrance was incorporated into the frontage, complete with an aluminium-framed toughened glass double door. This creates a strong central focal point and gives guests a clear and welcoming arrival into the Race Hub.

Above the glazed frontage, bespoke aluminium-framed façade panels were introduced to break away from the traditional awning roofline. These panels provide a clean architectural finish and create a large, highly visible area for the GB3, GB4 and Race Hub branding.

The result is a structure that combines the flexibility of a temporary motorsport awning with the appearance and atmosphere of a permanent hospitality building.

The Result

MSV’s new Race Hub delivers the space and functionality required to support two high-profile single-seater championships, while creating a premium destination at the centre of the paddock.

The combination of its impressive scale, fully glazed frontage, recessed doorway and architectural aluminium panels gives the structure a polished, professional appearance that reflects the stature of both GB3 and GB4.

It is a striking example of what can be achieved when motorsport awning design is approached as more than temporary cover. Through considered design and bespoke British manufacturing, the Race Hub has become a recognisable part of the championship environment and a fitting centrepiece for MSV’s race-weekend operations.
