    LOL you're a funny guy.

    OK seriously, there are some in Japan but I don't know of any in the USA. BTW, these are normally referred to as "series" or "classes" not leagues. You're best bet for some local competition is auto-crosses.

    That looks like NASCAR identifying there car as Chevy, Toyota, etc. I don't think there is any part on those machines made by the manfacture.

    There's plenty of Toyota parts on that car.

    They're just not Prius parts. (Actually, I want to say that the battery is from the Prius α (the Japanese-market Prius v).) They're mostly parts that Toyota has developed specifically for motorsports over the years (the engine being derived from a 2003-2005 Indy Racing League engine).

    You can autocross or rally with the SCCA without being a member.
