YTF1 is a British team currently competing in the 2013 Formula Challenge season and scheduled to compete in the forthcoming International Touring Cup. The team, in it's original from, was founded in Schoonhoven, the Netherlands, in 2010 and participated in a private series with friends of the original owner, using Grand Prix 3. After hearing about the intention of the original owner to shut the team down, Matthew Allington took over the team in December 2011 and continued to run it in the aforementioned series. After the series fizzled out, Allington decided to reorganize the team and enter it into the GPVWC.

History

2013

YTF1 made it's GPVWC début at the 2013 Challenge French Grand Prix, the 13th round of the season. Its current drivers include Romanian Florea Calin and Englishman Scott Berrisford. The team's original lineup featured Joshua Anderson and Mikael Tuomaala. However, both drivers left the team after the French round, resulting in the team's reserve driver, Berrisford, being promoted to 'Primary driver' status and the other seat being handed to Calin. Perry Vink deputized for Calin at the 2013 Challenge United States Grand Prix.

Berrisford scored the team's first points in the German round and the team has continued to score points in every round thereafter. The team's best result of the season so far has been a 5th place at Suzuka.

On 9th October, YTF1's application to join the International Touring Cup grid was accepted. Shortly afterwards it was announced that Tuomaala would be returning to the team, driving alongside fellow Finn Tommi Koivunen in BMW machinery.
