The Radio Relay
They travel in packs of four. Two carry the radio relay on their backs, the others each carry a 17 kg car battery. The whole thing must be set up every day on the top of a hill or a mountain
(at an altitude of up to 900 metres) to ensure that communications between the Race PC, the press cars and the participants cotinue uninterrupted. It goes without saying that to work in this field, you'd better have plenty of stamina! Christian Sabastia has been working for the Rallye for 12 years and has been setting up the radio relay for the past three. For him, "setting up the relay gives me a chance go rock climbing and to go where nobody else goes. The views are magnificent!" And when man reaches his limit, the helicopter takes over!
The radio relay team is composed of Christian Sabastia, Michel Gamache, Nicola Martins Goncalvez and Martin Jayot.
