Global Formula Racing is an international collaboration in motor vehicle manufacturing formed by BA Racing Team from DHBW-Ravensburg, Germany, and the Beaver Racing Team at Oregon State University in the United States. The venture began in 2009 and coordinates the design, manufacturing, and testing of a single vehicle across two universities, using advanced communication technology to bridge nine time zones and about 5400 miles. Resource sharing—both physical and intellectual—underpins the effort, with supply chain management being a distinctive element within Formula Student. The organization is based in Corvallis, Oregon, and operates as a mid-sized collaborative team. English serves as the common language to enable cross-border collaboration.
