Info
YTU Racing, founded in 2011, within TU Yıldız, one of the most significant and oldest universities of Turkey. YTR-06 built on the experience of prior five cars and their glories, once again competing in Formula Student Germany. Runner-up of last year’s acceleration event has come with more sophisticated aerodynamics, changes in base concept, a better suspension geometry, shorter and more rigid chassis and a total of 91 hp. Beating this beast, YTR-06, is going to be a lot harder than before.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Effective Powertrain
Vehicle Dynamics Concept

Info
Behold the YTR04, fourth car of the most successful Turkish team. With already having a reliable engine unit, which made it possible to finish all the dynamic events last year, the main emphasis for this year had been to increase grip. The never-ending quest for finding speed leads to development of first ever aero package of the team. Various driving aids are added to tame this beast by upgrading the electronics. We can’t wait to visit free Magnum stand.PS: It is Yildiz TU, not Istanbul TU

2016
Info
YTU Racing has founded in 2011. The team has a three years of Formula Student experience and it is it’s maiden year on FSG competition. We have a desire for simplicity and reliability. We set two main goals for this season: Weight reduction and to see the chequered flag on endurance. With our third car YTR03, we we did not try to make giant steps but instead choose to achieve a steady progress with slower pace. The car stands out with its lightweight ‘made-in-garage’carbonfibre parts
