Global Formula Racing

Global Formula Racing is an international cooperation between the BA Racing Team from Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg-Ravensburg (DHBW-R), Germany, and the Beaver Racing Team from Oregon State University (OSU), USA. The beginning of this unique global venture was in 2009. The two universities share physical and intellectual resources by using advanced communication-technology to create a highly competitive vehicle. Design, manufacturing, and testing occur simultaneously at both schools, over 9 time zones and 5400 miles distance. The supply chain management is unique in Formula Student and very important at that point. The English language, the team language, is very important for cross-border communication.
