The Toyota Green Grand Prix’s two-stage rally will offer up the challenges and excitement of driving on the race track and driving on open roads. The first segment of the Doris Bovee Memorial Road Rallies will be a 130-mile, fuel economy event completely on the 2.45-mile short course at WGI, which has hosted competitive racing events since 1957. The rally is open to all classes of road vehicles.
After a lunch break, the rally moves to public roads for 90 miles and another fuel economy run. Both segments will be conducted at highway speeds. “This year’s rallies will offer competitors the opportunity to establish fuel economy records in various categories on a world famous racing venue and on the picturesque roads of the Finger Lakes,” Gillespie said.
The vehicles will be on display during the lunch break and after they return to the track in late afternoon. Spectators will be able to view a wide variety of fuel-efficient vehicles powered by several different fuels including gasoline, biodiesel, hydrogen, propane and compressed natural gas. Many hybrids, plug-in hybrids and full electric vehicles are also expected.
