Global Formula Racing

Oregon State University (USA) and Duale Hochschule Baden Wurttemberg Ravensburg (GER) are Global Formula Racing. Founded in 2010

GFR is the first international collaborative team to compete within Formula SAE (US) and Formula Student (EU) competitions. Students at Oregon State (US) and DHBW-Ravensburg (GER) officially combined their racing programs in February 2010.

At the start of the competition season, GFR had the opportunity to take part in Porsche Prejudging, where our car was presented and discussed in a professional environment.

Surrounded by passionate teams and experienced engineers, we were able to gain valuable insights and receive constructive feedback.

It was a great opportunity to exchange ideas, reflect on our work, and take important input with us for the next steps!

GFR, back-to-back champions of FSAE Michigan Electric and the first-ever overall winners of the driverless category!

We couldn't be prouder of this achievement and the incredible efforts of our team that made it possible. Countless kilometers of testing, precision through tech inspections, incredibly talented drivers, and a multidisciplinary team all came together to earn our place at #1. Through relentless passion and grit, GFR has defended our first overall title and ushered in a new era of autonomous competition at FSAE Michigan.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported our team along the way. From the donors and sponsors who give us the power to innovate, the advisors and alumni who guide us, to the friends and family cheering us on -- thank you. This win is ours to share.

We look forward to our upcoming competitions, Formula Student Spain and Formula Student Germany. GFR26 is just getting started!

GO GFR!

Locking in for the remainder of the upcoming season… 🔒

A few weeks ago, our comp simulation gave students the chance to experience the procedures and environment of a real competition. Now that we’ve gotten to know each other better, we’re more prepared, connected, and ready for the rest of the season ahead. 👀
