This documentary chronicles a year in the life of Global Formula Racing Team. Made up of students in a multinational partnership who design and build formula cars for an extremely competitive international racing circuit, the GFR team hails from Oregon State University and DHBW Ravensburg, Germany. They devote every waking moment to the relentless pursuit of an international championship.
Really cool overview of what this team has done. Amazing stuff we have right here in our backyard!

Amazing car. Congrats guys!
That’s true, but largely ignored is the HUGE amount of time and effort that goes into developing and constructing the cars. That’s where most of the value in participating in one of these teams is gained (having done it myself).
whose car is at 18:21 ?
thanks for taking the time to consider my thoughts.
You are right it really does lack in that area. We developed this with the general public audience in mind. We wanted to gain awareness and support from people who have never heard of or don’t know much about FSAE at universities. Shed light on an industry that doesn’t get a ton of attention in traditional higher education. If we are fortunate enough hopefully we can work on future projects that really get into the tech that goes into these projects.
i’m really disappointed that there wasnt an in-depth tech analysis of the car. your audience is not regular people, its enthusiasts who want to know about these things. the human aspect of the story is good and i’m happy for the team, but this video fell short.
Video was too light on sexy technical details…
Wow, FSAE has come a long way but the passion is still just as intense. It looks like the quality of the vehicle, the engineering, fundraising, testing & marketing is so much better now.
I have very fond memories of my time in FSAE back in early 90′s when all of us, at all of the universities were just starting to figure it out. Great work on the car and on this terrific documentary. Thanks for sharing and best of luck for your upcoming competition!

I think it was meant as two separate statements:
1) Wings do work
2) Winning AutoX for the second year in a row.
but they ended up blended together.
Sweet video…really well done!
