We hit the tracks with Audi Careers for an exciting karting competition! It was an awesome experience going wheel-to-wheel with different teams and pushing the karts to their limits.

Thank you for the opportunity - we had a great time out there!

GFR26 is HERE!

Our US Rollout was this Thursday, where the team, friends, family, and sponsors gathered for the unveiling of GFR's latest vehicle iteration. Following a presentation from our advisors and leads, attendees were able to get a close-up look at the car and connect with the team. 🤝

We would like to especially thank Mishjacks Catering for providing dinner inspired by our upcoming competition appearances.

Next stop: FSAE Michigan. 🏁

SAE International is the very organization that fuels GFR's competitive passions. Formula SAE 2025 captured the essence of what an entire season on an FSAE team amounts to; from rigorous technical inspections, challenging design questions, connections with professionals, and incredible feats of dynamic performance, SAE fosters a community to shape the next generation of engineers within the motorsport industry. The opportunities SAE presents to teams across the nation allows GFR to showcase the hard work, design prowess, and high performance that amounted to GFR's first place finish this past season. We look forward with anticipation to the next one. Thank you SAE International!

The foundation of each GFR design begins within the 3D workspace. 💻

From the initial concept, to fully integrated assemblies, our team relies on software to envision concepts that can be turned into working elements across every subsystem on the car. It's these tools that enable us to build an authentic digital twin and model real-world behavior to simulate and refine designs before they are manufactured. In the 3D plane, the car is created.

Between structural design and dynamic visualization, the Siemens workspace is the ultimate bridge between GFR's virtual and physical systems. With Siemens technology by our side, GFR is empowered with smart engineering decisions and pushes boundaries of digital design and development.

Composites manufacturing is a meticulous and technical process and it demands precision at each stage. This is where DH Sutherland has been instrumental in helping Global Formula Racing meet the challenges of high material standards and continuous refinement of our designs. Through their extensive composite manufacturing resources, our team is able to produce high-performance components with increased consistency and confidence. GFR is proud to work with DH Sutherland to help drive our team's success, and we look forward to continuing this partnership into future seasons!

Empowered by DHBW Center for Advanced Studies – accelerating GFR’s success from the classroom to the track! 🏎️⚡

The DHBW CAS was a key partner in supporting our team throughout the season. From academic guidance, to valuable methodological input, the collaboration significantly enhanced our team dynamics and working practices.

We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in workshops such as “Leadership Communication”, which help us grow in our role as team leaders and improve our ability to communicate clearly. These theoretical insights allow us to support and guide our teams more effectively.
