Global Formula Racing<br />

Global Formula Racing is the first innovative global collaboration of<br />

its kind in the history of both the US-based Formula SAE and EUbased<br />

Formula Student programs. The former BA Racing Team<br />

from the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg-Ravensburg<br />

(DHBW-R), Germany, and the Beaver Racing Team from Oregon<br />

State University (OSU) have combined forces in 2010 to compete<br />

as a single entity.<br />

In the first shared season two identical cars have been<br />

developed and created at both universities. Based on<br />

this concept from 2010 GFR is creating two race cars<br />

each season: one with a combustion motor at the<br />

campus of the Oregon State University and one with an<br />

electrical motor at the Cooperate University (DHBW) in<br />

Friedrichshafen, Germany. The both universities share<br />

physical and intellectual resources over 9 time zones<br />

and 8799 km distance.<br />

For the first time in the history of Global Formula Racing the electric car gets<br />

powered by two motors and a two-stage gearbox. The motors have been<br />

developed in cooperation with Brusa to fulfill the specific requirements of<br />

Formula Student disciplines. The electric energy is provided by 288 LiPo cells<br />

which are monitored by a self-developed battery management system. A<br />

model based vehicle control unit is responsible for the regulation of the<br />

power.<br />
