YT-01
(Original Season 1 - 1998)
Mercedes V10 engine, Bridgestone tyres
Drivers: PhoenixFirebreath, AmbientMaster, Ricktworick1
Constructors championship position: 6th (also with YT-02)
The YT-01 was the YouTube F1 team's first car, which was, in fact, essentially the Arrows A19. The car was one of the slower cars on track and wasn't the most reliable. Despite this, the drivers managed to get stunning results in this car and proved to be some serious competition!

YT-02
(Original Season 1 - 1998)
Mercedes V10 engine, Bridgestone tyres
Drivers: PhoenixFirebreath, AmbientMaster, Ricktworick1
Constructors championship position: 6th (also with YT-01)
The YT-02 replaced it's predecessor for the Italian GP onward. The car, a pre-design to the YT-03 was faster and more reliable than the YT-01. The car scored two double points finishes but unfortunately there were no podiums. It also introduced the iconic red-and-white livery.

YT-03
(Original Season 2 - 2000)
Mercedes V10 engine, Bridgestone tyres
Drivers: PhoenixFirebreath, AmbientMaster, Dominik0366, Ricktworick1
Constructors championship position: 3rd
Youtube F1's 2000 challenger was the YT-03, which was a major step forward over its predecessors, often challenging at the front thanks to improved performance and reliability. The car was noted for many hideous crashes, which caused long-lasting injuries to three of it's drivers.

YT-04
(Original Season 3 - 2001)
Mercedes V10 engine, Bridgestone tyres
Drivers: PhoenixFirebreath, AmbientMaster, Dominik0366
Constructors championship position: 2nd
The YT-04 is the team's most successful car yet. Even stronger than the YT-03, the team scored several wins, pole positions and 1-2 finishes and challenged for the titles. They would just lose both in the last race of the season, having fought Ferrari and Batman until the end.

YT-05
(New Season 1 - 2005)
BMW V10 engine, Bridgestone tyres
Drivers: smoglessbutton4, Christiano da Matta, Antonio Pizzonia, Anthony Davidson, vitaphone97
Constructors championship position: 8th
The YT-05 was a long step away from YouTubeF1 tradition, but it did well for the what-was-essentially-new team - give it some rain and it would destroy the competition, but also it's electrical systems on occasion... The team struggled to score consistently, costing them in the standings.

YT-06
(New Season 2 - 2006)
Mercedes V8 engine, Michelin tyres
Drivers: AmbientMaster, smoglessbutton4, statto300
Constructors championship position: 3rd (at present)
The YouTubeF1 team's current challenger sees a return to (slightly) more traditional colours. The car is designed with consistent points finishes in mind and also to be able to work well in a variety of conditions. The new engines should provide good power and new tyres could also help.
