CUSTOM TROPHIES AND AWARDS
100% unique trophies for motorsport and prize giving events
PDQ Precision worked closely with graphic design company Spyre Ltd to create these custom trophies and awards for GP Originals motorcycle race series. The awards were made using high quality wood and aluminium to make each one a premium piece.
Custom awards for motorcycle racing
The brief entailed nine championship trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd across three classes. The awards followed the same design but varied in height to reflect each position.
In addition to the Championship awards there was a one-off piece that would be presented as a perpetual trophy year after year. This special bespoke trophy would be presented on behalf of GP Originals and Teng Tools in memory of the late Colin North.
It was essential that each trophy had a flush profile across the wood and the metal parts – all carefully engineered and finely finished.
Premium materials
The designer, Spyre Ltd, supplied DWG files containing the profiles along with 3D visuals to explain exactly how the finished pieces needed to look.
Each award featured carpenter finished, oiled wooden centres. The front and back aluminium plates were vapour blasted, then clear anodised for a satin finish. The final artwork complete with each of the winners names were laser-etched by Bike Sport Developments and then sent on to Spyre for hand assembly and packaging.
Star shaped Torx bolts were used throughout to make a feature of the fixings and each Championship trophy had 1, 2 or 3 CNC milled into the wood.
Creative and uniquely designed
The Teng Tools Polaris perpetual trophy had its own unique shape and was designed to reflect the ‘shining star’ theme throughout.
Both the wood and the aluminium were profile cut using our CNC Milling machine. We also relieved the back of the wood and inset a mirror-polished stainless steel disc to contrast with the satin finish of the front, creating an effective shining star.
All of the trophies were free-standing but could be hung on the wall if desired. They were presented at the GP Originals awards night complete with colour-coded gift bags.
Let’s talk about custom awards
We always go the extra mile and understand that a trophy must always be beautiful and well-made. It is essential that the recipient will be proud to display it in their home or workplace.
