I wss just thinking how does the pit crew change the rear tyres of the Prius TC since there's a rear cover panel.

Probably the same way the pit crew change the tires on the X2010, somehow pulling the tires out through the panels.
 
Or the same way the tires are changed on the Jag XJ9 or the Nissan R89C.
 
Lots of old cars used to have those cover panels, I always assumed they had to jack the car up really high. (Or the panels just came off. :dopey:)

Just a shame you can't get a normal gear box on the TC as it would improve it a lot. Instead of the constant wining engine sound.

Blame the environment! In 30 years people will be complaining about old cars making too much noise :(

That because its a full race spec transmission. Straight cut gears do that all the time. It would be nice to switch but would defeat the purpose of the transmission being downgraded.
 
On the 60's Corvette race car the fuel man stands inside the car to fill it up during a pit stop! I think pit stops were something our Kaz didn't think about too much.
