Riedel Communications has partnered with UK-based endurance GT racing team Garage 59 to deliver a fully integrated communications solution for the 2025 racing season.
Leveraging Riedel’s Bolero wireless intercom system, in combination with the RiFace radio interface for race control, the system is providing support for the team’s GT World Challenge Europe and International GT Open campaigns.
Originally introduced to Bolero through Riedel’s product division, Garage 59 has transitioned to a more comprehensive system with Riedel’s managed technology division (MT) providing radio infrastructure and dry hire services for major events such as the 24-hour races at Nürburgring and Spa. The team also has MT-exclusive helmet kits and a custom-built Riedel rack integrating Bolero, StageLink, and RiFace units.
Riedel Communications will continue to support Garage 59 throughout the 2025 season, with plans for further initiatives to spotlight the team’s progress and the communications technologies enabling it. As part of the collaboration, Riedel branding is now featured on Garage 59’s McLaren race cars.
Nacho Lee, programme manager global events, Riedel Communications, said: “This partnership with Garage 59 is an exciting step forward as we expand our motorsports presence in the UK. It’s also a powerful example of the close cooperation between Riedel’s product and managed technology divisions. By working together, we’re delivering a fully integrated solution that meets the high demands of endurance racing.”
Andrew Kirkaldy, team principal, Garage 59, said: “We needed a communications solution that matched the pace and precision of our team, and Riedel delivered on all fronts. The clarity, reliability, and adaptability of the system have become a real competitive advantage for us this season.”
