CoolDrive Delivers Technical Training at Bathurst 12 Hour

CoolDrive Auto Parts recently held a successful technical training session at the iconic Bathurst 12 Hour, bringing together industry professionals for an in-depth, hands-on training experience, complemented by GT racing action!



Supported by Bosch and Capricorn, the technical training event was held over three days from 31 January to 2 February with attendees able to advance their skills and knowledge of the latest vehicle system technologies.



Key focus areas included the critical importance of Pass-Thru technology for modern automotive workshops, practical applications of Bosch ESi[Tronic] software, advanced oscilloscope training, and techniques for diagnosing and managing common rail diesel (CRD), gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, as well as hybrid and EV drivelines.



The event featured an impressive line-up of technical experts, including Clint Flower, CoolDrive Technical Trainer, Sumin Kim, CoolDrive Tools & Equipment Product Manager, and Darren Todd, Senior Bosch Technical Trainer, who all shared their extensive knowledge and expertise with the attendees.



Participants also enjoyed exclusive access to the CoolDrive Auto Parts and Australian Automotive Service Dealers Network (AASDN East Coast) Pit Garage Suite, offering a premium setting for networking and viewing the Bathurst 12 Hour race on the Sunday.



Further exclusive racing action included behind the scenes paddock tours, and exclusive meet-and-greet sessions with team mechanics and drivers.



"Participants of the Bathurst 12 Hour Specialist Training Event were unanimous in their praise, with many describing the training content as nothing short of brilliant," said Matthew Douglass, Category Manager – Tools and Equipment at CoolDrive Auto Parts.



"The depth of knowledge demonstrated by our expert trainers was frequently highlighted as both highly beneficial and immediately applicable. Attendees walked away not only with valuable new skills but also with a clear vision for implementing positive change within their own workshops.



“The event’s engaging and hands-on approach to learning was a major benefit, and many participants expressed eagerness to put the advanced tools and techniques they learned into practice.



"This year’s session builds on the success of our 2022 Bathurst and Sandown events and reaffirms CoolDrive’s ongoing commitment to providing top-tier technical training. We’re excited to continue offering these valuable technical training opportunities in 2025 and beyond."



CoolDrive will host further technical training sessions across Australia and New Zealand in 2025, with the timetable and information to be announced shortly.
