About OIT Racing

2010 - 2011 OIT Formula SAE Team

OIT Racing is a student club at the Oregon Institute of Technology located in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Our goal is to design, build, test, and race in the annual Formula SAE® competition. Formula SAE® is a student design competition organized by SAE International (formerly Society of Automotive Engineers). The first competition was started back in 1978 and was originally called the Mini Indy. The concept behind Formula SAE® is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small formula style race car. The prototype race car is 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 is both to ensure onsite event operations and promote clever problem solving. This is an international race, with approximately 80 Universities competing from around the US and World.
