Beaver Racing

Who are we?

Beaver Racing is a Baja SAE® racing team located at Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvallis, Oregon. We have competed in Baja SAE® competitions since 1978 and have frequently placed in the top 10 since the early 2000s.

Every year, from the ground up, we build a one-seater race car that competes at the highest intercollegiate level of off-road racing in the country. Composed of students that come from every major at OSU, our team takes classroom concepts and challenges members to apply them to our real world scenarios. Members learn how to work effectively in a diverse team environment and continually strengthen their interpersonal and technical skills.
