About us
Global Formula Racing
Global Formula Racing is an international cooperation between students from Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg-Ravensburg (DHBW), Germany, and the from Oregon State University (OSU), USA. GFR began our unique global venture in 2009. We share physical and intellectual resources by using advanced communication technology to create two highly competitive vehicles.
Design, manufacturing, and testing occur simultaneously at both schools, over nine time zones and 8770 kilometers apart. Our supply chain management is unique in Formula Student, and it adds an extra dimension to the team. The English language, the team language, is key for cross-border communication.
