Welcome to the home of Global Formula Racing! GFR is an international collaboration between the former BA Racing Team from the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg-Ravensburg (DHBW-R), Germany, and the Beaver Racing Team from Oregon State University (OSU). This unique global venture promises to create an exciting and challenging 2010 season for all students!
Global Formula Racing is the first innovative global collaboration of its kind in the history of both the US-based Formula SAE and EU-based Formula Student programs. The former BA Racing Team from the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg-Ravensburg (DHBW-R), Germany, and the Beaver Racing Team from Oregon State University (OSU) have combined forces to compete as a single entity. The two universities will share physical and intellectual resources to create a highly competitive vehicle worthy of international reputation.
Design, manufacturing, and testing will occur at both schools. The collaboratively developed GFR 2010 design will be used to manufacture two identical cars—one at the OSU campus in Corvallis, Oregon, USA, and the other at the DHBW-R campus in Friedrichshafen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Are you interested in supporting this exciting venture? As a result of the collaboration, GFR 2010 sponsors will receive broad international exposure. The team plans to compete in six competitions between the U.S. and Europe. Most importantly, the donations go beyond monetary value. By supporting GFR, sponsors are supporting a unique and exciting student project that reflects the current professional movement toward global collaboration.
Sponsorships vary in magnitude and type of donation, from free and discounted parts to monetary donations of several hundred to several thousand dollars. Depending on the donation amount, supporting sponsors get their associating company logos on group merchandise, signage at events, and also on the 2010 vehicles permanently. In addition, supporting the group gives sponsors the opportunity to connect with outgoing engineering students with various backgrounds, all of whom are very talented and highly skilled, not to mention ready for work!
