The story of success started in 2003/2004 when YART achieved their first podium. YART finished third overall in the 2005 World Championship, starting a five year run never finishing outside the top three. In 2009, the team achieved the ultimate target and took their Yamaha YZF-R1 to winning the World Endurance Championship 2009 by winning the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race, the 8 Hours of Oschersleben, the 8 Hours of Albacete and the 8 Hours of Doha. In 2023 YART became World Endurance Champion for the second time.

So far YART could achieve 16 pole positions, 14 fastest racelaps, 38 podiums with 11 victories and two world champion titles. As well as:

• 2006, 2008, 2019 YART became EWC Vice World Champion

In 2015 YART made the strategic decision to provide their knowledge and experience to junior athletes and to private racers and trackday racers. The purpose was to make motorcycle racing more popular and also safer by moving the human‘s racing spirit from the roads into safe racetracks.

The upcoming years have also been crowned with a great winning streak: 2020 12h of Estoril; 2019 8h of Sepang; 2018 & 2019 8h of Slowakiaring.
