Riedel Communications Teams Up With GT Racing Team Garage 59

Riedel Communications has partnered with U.K.-based endurance GT team Garage 59 to deliver a fully integrated communications solution that is already playing a key role in the team’s phenomenal start to the 2025 racing season.
Leveraging Riedel’s Bolero wireless intercom system in combination with the RiFace radio interface for seamless race control, Garage 59 has gained a new level of clarity, reliability, and scalability in its trackside operations, where it provides crucial support across the team’s GT World Challenge Europe and International GT Open campaigns.
Formed ahead of the new season, this partnership has helped the team to hit the ground running. Garage 59 is fielding three cars in 2025 and has already delivered a string of strong results across both race series, reaffirming the team’s status as a serious contender in the world of GT racing.
Originally introduced to Bolero through Riedel’s Product Division, Garage 59 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 benefits from MT-exclusive helmet kits and a custom-built Riedel rack integrating Bolero, StageLink, and RiFace units — boosting in-race coordination and overall efficiency.
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 cutting-edge communications technologies enabling it. As part of the collaboration, Riedel branding is now featured on Garage 59’s McLaren race cars, reinforcing the visibility of this partnership on and off the track.
