Since its beginnings, racing has had the same general formula. Go as fast as you can, and manage your gas and tires to cross the finish line first. We now add another variable into the formula. The Toyota Prius Cup Car (Toyota Prius TC) uses a hybrid drivetrain to decrease fuel consumption, using an electric motor powered by a battery. Drivers in the Prius World Championship must manage their battery charge along with their tires and fuel, while still racing one another. Can you take the challenge?
Rules and Regulations
All rules, regulations, car specifications, and races are controlled by the Prius World Championship sanctioning body, GTMSA. Any and all questions should be directed to GTMSA officials (primarily me, LancerEvo7) and officials will do their best to answer in a timely and accurate matter.
All drivers must run at the specified weights and horsepower settings provided by GTMSA. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
GTP's OLR applies. If it conflicts with rules given below, assume the rules given below to be correct.
You must use the given power and upgrades.
You must keep 2 tires on the track or rumble strips.
You may change lanes twice to defend your position.
As these are slower cars with good mechanical grip, close racing with some contact is expected and will not be penalized.
If you cause another driver to crash, even if it is unintentional, it is expected that you allow them to regain their position before you continue.
Two Lap Race Format: A 4 lap race will be started. You will have a warm-up lap, two hotlaps, and a cool-down lap. The fastest of your two hotlaps will determine your qualifying position. Rooms will be opened at various times during the week leading up to the race. You may qualify at any time as long as a GTMSA official is present. Tires: Racing Soft Damage: Off Penalties: Off Grip on Track Edges: Real Time (If Applicable): 15:00, Progression set to 1 Weather (If Applicable: 0%, Changeability set to 0 Lounge: Varies (Any GTMSA official)

Lancer as much as id like to have a go (Be funny to race these ) With my busy schedule I need a time that will be set in stone to decide if I can or cant race here.
Interesting quali on Softs but race on Hards. (No doubt due to the s:censored:ty tyre wear phyisics killing softs after 6-7laps)
) With my busy schedule I need a time that will be set in stone to decide if I can or cant race here.
