In 2018, a horrific crash at Pocono nearly ended Robert Wickens’ life, and seemingly his racing career. He suffered a double spinal cord fracture, multiple broken bones, and a severe pulmonary contusion, revealing by year's end that he was a paraplegic. But Robert Wickens is not like most people. He refused to be defined by the crash that changed everything. Through unwavering determination, incredible resilience, and the cutting-edge technology of Bosch Motorsport, Wickens set his sights on an unthinkable goal: to race again at the highest level. That incredible drive, combined with unwavering commitment and support, has powered a remarkable comeback. Wickens is now accelerating his career with an IMSA SportsCar Championship campaign in a Chevrolet Corvette, equipped with state-of-the-art hand controls developed in collaboration with Bosch Motorsport. "I don't think I ever didn't think about getting back into a race car; for me, it was never really an option not to," says Wickens. Even his friend and then-teammate, James Hinchcliffe, who was also involved in the Pocono incident, never doubted his resolve: "I don't think anyone doubted that Robbie would want to get back in a car and that he would." The project was a powerful motivator, not only for Wickens but for the entire Bosch Motorsport team. Jordan Krell, Bosch Motorsport Senior Systems Engineer, notes: “It’s really cool to make race cars go fast. But to have an effect on the human side and unlock someone’s full potential - it doesn’t get much better than that.” It's all about the feeling: the technology behind Wickens electronic braking system There's a lot of feel that goes into braking a race car. In the modulation phase, the feedback a racing driver gets from his feet is crucial. Robert Wickens wanted the same braking sensation that enabled body drivers with their feet. Before Bosch stepped on the plate, Wickens was unable to react as he would have liked due to the system's long latency period. For the redesign of Wickens' hand controlled braking system, Bosch utilized its existing electronic brake system (EBS) module from the LeMans Daytona hybrid (LMDh) class with its trusted controls platform and display to provide a more robust solution. The added technology allows Wickens to have more consistency across the application of brakes, faster response rate and advanced diagnostics for safety. With this system, Robert Wickens and hopefully other impaired drivers too have the world at their fingertips. The next stage in Wickens' incredible journey sees him move into the main IMSA series. This year, he's tackling the five sprint rounds of the championship, starting at Long Beach in April 2025. Partnered with Tommy Milner, the pair pilot a Corvette Z06 GT3.R entered by the DXDT Racing squad in the GT Daytona class. Bosch has played a crucial role in this transition, stepping up to develop a ground breaking new hand-control system. Wickens accelerates and changes gear with his left hand, while braking is managed with his right. This system now incorporates brake-by-wire technology, also known as Electronic Braking System (EBS), transforming electronic signals at the steering wheel into precise brake pressure at the callipers.

The event was a powerful blend of stunning vehicles, passionate enthusiasts, and a shared commitment to supporting a special cause. From meticulously restored classics to modern performance machines, the diverse range of vehicles on display reflected the deep passion and dedication within the Australian automotive community that we’re so proud to be a part of. A sea of azure covered the front lawn at Bosch as the 15th event’s “blue” theme coaxed out pristine vehicles from across Melbourne. The air buzzed with conversation, the sound of finely tuned engines, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee - a perfect recipe for a memorable Sunday morning. But Highball Cars & Coffee is more than just a display of automotive excellence. It’s a platform for community engagement, a place where enthusiasts can connect with one another and contribute to an important cause. Highball Cars & Coffee collaborates with Victoria Police Legacy to support police families throughout Victoria who have suffered the loss of a loved one - in particular, the children of fallen officers. The response was truly inspiring. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and vendors, and Bosch Australia’s contribution of $2 per coffee sold at the event, we were able to raise an impressive $8,876 for Victoria Police Legacy. This sum will go towards providing invaluable support for families navigating incredibly challenging circumstances. Former Victoria Police Inspector, Bob Raaymakers, the Community Engagement Coordinator at Victoria Police Legacy, shared the impact of these contributions: "These donations make a real difference, supporting police families with activities and grants.” Bosch is proud to have hosted this event, aligning with our commitment to supporting the community and fostering a spirit of collaboration. As a leading global supplier of technology and services, Bosch has a long history of supporting motorsport and high-performance applications.

Learn moreAt Bosch Motorsport, we support New Zealands vibrant motorsport community through our authorized dealer R.A.C.E (Racecar and Custom Electrical) in Auckland. As the sole Bosch Motorsport dealer in the region, RACE specialises in optimising vehicle performance with cutting-edge technology. A prime example of this expertise is Gary Bigwood’s championship-winning BMW E36 M3, which won its class at the 2024 Targa New Zealand. Vehicle Performance Enhancements Gary Bigwood’s BMW E36 M3 exemplifies the power of Bosch Motorsport innovation. Built upon the foundations of the 1992 BMW E36 M3 chassis, known for its balanced weight distribution and rigid structure, providing a solid foundation for high-performance modifications. The vehicle is powered by an E46 M3 engine, S54B32, a 3.2-liter inline-six engine. Gary and Jasons upgrades mean the M3 is now capable of producing 380 horsepower at 8000 RPM at a weight of 1300kg, but Targa regulations don't allow a car to exceed 200km/h, so it has low gearing to improve acceleration. This engine is equipped with high-performance fuel pumps and injectors from Bosch Motorsport, ensuring optimal fuel delivery for maximum power output. For superior control and stability, the BMW also features a Bosch Motorsport M5 ABS system, specifically tuned for the unique demands of tarmac rally conditions. This system provides Gary with the confidence to push his limit, providing precise control and stability under braking, crucial for navigating challenging Targa stages. The car is further enhanced by the Bosch Motorsport DDU11 display, a digital dashboard that provides real-time data and critical control. The DDU11 features a high-resolution colour screen, configurable display layouts, and integrated data logging capabilities, allowing Gary to monitor critical performance metrics such as engine RPM, lap times, and sensor data during races. An unsung feature Gary’s team enjoys most is the DDU11’s option to bleed the breaks, "...we can do full diagnostics and in fact we can even bleed the breaks from the screen. The pit crew absolutely love it. Its very quick and its a perfect bleed all the way through the system including the pump...". View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bosch Motorsport Australia (@boschmotorsportau) Installation and Tuning Expertise The transformation of Gary's M3 into a race-winning machine is a direct result of the expertise of Jason, the lead technician at R.A.C.E. Jason's meticulous installation and precision tuning of the Bosch Motorsport components have resulted in sharper throttle response, consistent braking, and optimized fuel delivery, enabling Gary to fully harness the car's capabilities. Jason's work includes fine-tuning the Bosch M5 ABS system to match the specific demands of tarmac rallying, ensuring optimal braking performance and vehicle stability. Showcase at Supercars Event Gary’s BMW E36 M3 was displayed at the Supercars event in Taupō from April 11th-13th 2025, alongside the Bosch Motorsport display tent. Throughout the weekend, the car attracted numerous curious visitors among the Supercar attendees in the merchandising area. These enthusiasts had the unique opportunity to engage with Gary and Jason from R.A.C.E, who shared insights about the vehicle's impressive array of Bosch Motorsport upgrades and functionalities. Their expertise provided a deeper understanding of how these enhancements contribute to the car's performance and reliability, sparking lively discussions and excitement among fans. Bosch Motorsport is dedicated to providing top-tier products and services to the motorsport community. Builds like Gary Bigwood’s by R.A.C.E highlight our dedication to performance, innovation, and supporting the pursuit of victory.
