When your race car is on the trailer, nothing matters more than trust. Motorsport drivers rely on their transport setup just as much as their kit on the track. A good trailer protects the vehicle, speeds up loading, and makes travel to events smooth and stress-free — a bad one puts a season’s worth of effort at risk.
At Three Shires Trailers, we support everyone from weekend track day enthusiasts to semi-pro racing teams with reliable, race-ready trailers and expert guidance. Here’s why motorsport drivers choose us.
What Motorsport Drivers Need from a Trailer
Motorsport trailers have very specific demands. Whether transporting a track-day car, sprint car, drift car, or a full race machine, the following features are essential:
Low loading angle
Race cars sit low to the ground. A shallow angle is essential to prevent scraping and make loading safer — especially when using winches.
Secure and balanced transport
Tie-down points, proper weight distribution, and stable chassis design keep high-value vehicles safe at speed and in crosswinds.
Lightweight but strong build
Efficient towing matters. Aluminium and composite construction help reduce tow vehicle strain while maintaining rigidity.
Storage for gear and tools
Motorsport requires equipment: wheels, tyres, jacks, helmets, spares. Enclosed models offer dedicated storage space.
Open or enclosed options
- Open transporters: lightweight, simple, ideal for track-day users.
- Enclosed transporters: maximum protection from weather and debris, perfect for high-value or sponsored vehicles.
Every driver’s needs are different. That’s why we help match the right model to your vehicle, frequency of use, and motorsport discipline.

Motorsport Use Cases: Real Examples
Here are some anonymised examples that reflect the range of motorsport customers we support:
Track-day enthusiast using an open transporter
A weekend driver running a modified hatchback wanted something lightweight and easy to tow. An open Brian James A-Series gave them a low loading angle, stability at motorway speeds, and simple tie-down points.
Club-level racer with an enclosed Race Sport
A club competitor transporting a historic race car chose the Race Sport for the protection of an enclosed body. Integrated storage allowed them to keep wheels, fluids and tools organised for quick paddock setup.
Semi-pro team using a Race Transporter 6
A team managing multiple high-value cars invested in the Race Transporter 6 for its hydraulic tilt-bed, exceptionally low loading angle, and climate-resistant body. They needed professional-grade equipment — and this model delivered.
Each of these drivers valued reliability, safety and ease of use — and each turned to Three Shires for the right fit.
