OIT Racing consists of mechanical, manufacturing, computer, business, and marketing students at the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, OR. OIT Racing is a student team that designs, builds, and tests a ¾ scale Formula car for the yearly Formula SAE® competition. Formula SAE® is a student design competition organized by SAE International. The concept behind Formula SAE® is that a fict
ional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula-style race car. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each student team designs, builds, and tests a prototype based on a series of rules whose purpose are both to ensure onsite event operations and promote clever problem solving. This is an international race, with approximately 80 universities competing from around the world.
