Team Ylinen is a karting team of twin boys, Joona & Niklas. The boys started karting at the age of 4 in 2018. After two sessions, the boys insisted on having their own cars and the hobby became more active. The brothers started racing in 2020 in the Cadet category when the required age, 6 years, was reached for the boys.
The long-term goal is to compete on international circuits.
The boys' dream is, of course, to race professionally. The motivation to train is high and the desire to learn new things and become faster is strong.
The goal has been built together with the whole family and partners, step by step.
In 2025 we will race all the races of the Rotax Max Challenge Finland Mini Max, as well as the Rotax Nordic Challenge races in Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. For the first time, we will race outside the Finnish borders.
"The best part is when you get to race and then play with your racing mates in the pit"

SPONSORS
Without partners, competing in karting at the national top level would not be possible. As drivers move up to bigger classes, the seasonal budget naturally increases.
​
We are actively looking for new partners to make the journey to the top possible. With us, you get double the visibility with two drivers. We offer many tailor-made options for our partners.
​
Join us to support Joona and Niklas on their journey. You get to dive into the secrets of motorsport from the front seat.

Feel free to get in touch, even a little support is important to us.
