Looking back on a successful weekend at the Tuning World Bodensee!

The event was a great opportunity to present the team and Formula Student to attendees!

With three generations of race cars on display—GFR10 with a combustions engine and the electric GFR14 and GFR24—we spent the weekend answering technical questions and sharing insights into our work. We were happy to see so many people stop by the booth, try the simulator, and show interest in joining the team and DHBW Ravensburg!

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.
