Hey guys, hoped you all enjoyed this one! There’s just something I want to add here, because I couldn’t really fit it into the video but I know other people will be thinking the same thing, which is that - it is an absolute crime that the GT300 Prius never appeared in a Gran Turismo game. I know that I uploaded a video last week talking about how these types of race cars often get overlooked in GT, but even still it’s exactly the type of quirky and interesting car that used to appear in those games. Back when it was still racing, I was all but convinced that we would see it in Gran Turismo eventually, but it just never happened. Sadly this is more of a reflection on how Super GT / JGTC and Gran Turismo - which used to be almost synonymous with each other - have kind of drifted apart over time. Seriously - we’ve only had two new JAF GT300 cars in these games in the past 15 years, and if you discount Subaru BRZs, literally none. And the latest GT500s we have are from 2016 - that’s practically ancient history at this point! Maybe I’ll make a video discussing that topic further one day, but in case you’re wondering, to date the GT300 Prius has only made a single videogame appearance in any form. It featured in SEGA World Drivers Championship - an officially licenced Super GT arcade racer from 2017 where both the 2017 and 2016 versions of the car are included (see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Kqon54i81loJY)

SCCA GT-1 rules are basically: 1. You need the stock roof from a production car, (Yes, just cut it off and build a racecar underneath it.) 2. You need a pushrod V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor, and a maximum displacement of 390ci. 3. The roof and the engine need to be made by the same company. That third one is the fun part. Let's say you have a 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Mitsubishi don't make a pushrod V8. (That I'm aware of? It wouldn't surprise me if they did at some point.) Well, you're in luck, because at the same time your Eclipse was being built, Chrysler was working with Mitsubishi. Which means you can pull the drivetrain out of an old Plymouth Duster, build a steel spaceframe racecar chassis, build a nice sleek fiberglass body, slap that Eclipse roof on top of it, and BOOM! As far as the SCCA is concerned, this unholy abomination you've created is - for all intents and purposes - a 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. So a Prius - a car designed for maximum fuel efficiency - would actually be the PERFECT silhouette racer. And you know who has connections with Toyota? Chevrolet. Which means you could run any GM Small Block V8.

Mine is also 2016 in white. I do the same thing as in the video. There is this steep downhill by my house with a sharp right curve. 3+3 lane road. The lights are predictable and optimized. It has a long runoff after the corner. It’s essentially a stoplight followed by a racetrack corner followed by another racetrack corner. If I see anyone floor it at the light, I floor it too and utilize all three lanes to overtake. I’ve overtaken a Porsche Taycan, mustang GT, corvette, many teslas, anyone who clearly has an ego. The most challenging was a a supercharged Dinan BMW Z3 S54, the driver was experienced at racing too and the lights were not in my favor for overtaking, he timed the lights too. I hit 100 that time. Gave each other a thumbs up. We’ll call it a tie; experience respects experience.

My dad had a 2014 Prius+ as his taxi car of choice and he was pretty happy with it, it was durable, its fuel efluency was nuts(althoug my father did modify the gas tank to also accept GLP as fuel) but it had a pretty good acceleration and my father could go into 150kph easily in the highway. He switched into a Nissan Ariya last year because the car was going to have 10 years and the switch from a hybrid into an electric car has been also good for him, although the new car was more expensive than the old one since it's an electric suv. Funilly enough, I felt more comfy in the Prius+ than in the Ariya although I've ridden that car like two times but tbh, I'm a tall guy.

It's comfortable, relatively quiet, and hillariously spins the front tires when exiting some parking lots or when it hits a patch of dirt or water when making a turn from a stop.

This is why Super GT / JGTC was so interesting, the biggest appeal for the series was the variety and freedom to create vastly different cars, and get some results in the process. From McLaren F1s to SC430s to Prius to even the amazing HSV, you could watch literally anything have a go at it. And they all looked cool. Best sounding Super GT ever has to go to the HSV, but you could make a case for Nob Taniguchi´s Z4 GT3 (another gorgeous car in the Hatsune Miku livery). Now, with the DTM joint deal they´ve got going on, it seems we will also lose that variety. It´s really sad.

While apr's undoubtedly known and good at their mid engine design, their front-engine design is also as interesting in my opinion, and one that does have successes. The thing with apr is that their front engined cars has a signature look. Very thick on the front yet slim and thin at the back, since it's all bespoke chassis and not based on a production one. Other than the GR86 GT300, they also has a part in building the Supra GT300, which also has that signature bulky front end. Saitama Green Brave won in 2023, so technically a front-engine car that has apr involvement has won a championship.

Honestly, this has a similar energy to the Volvo 850 estate racing in the BTCC in 1994. Only the Toyota was much more successful. A car which surely no-one in their right mind would think 'yeah, that'll be a successful racing car', yet some madlads decided to give it a shot anyway. Pretty cool looking car though. It is a little odd seeing 4-door cars in a GT series like Super GT though, given that I associate them more with Touring Car series like the BTCC or Supercars (not that the latter uses 4-door cars these days).

I will stand my Prius despite also loving many other cars. It’s reliable and gets good mileage. Hell, it has a decent amount of aftermarket support for some basic mods (and hell I run 1st gen Scion tC wheels because the Prius forums said it’s a direct fit).
