I hate the jerkiness of the footage...

I had thought that the transmission in the Prius was an essential part of the HSD; even the defining part? How can that work with a sequential gearbox, then?

The yellow headlights are most likely mandated by the rules. In endurance races with mixed classes, the faster and slower cars have different colored headlights. That's so someone can get an idea if a car is faster than them generally, or slower than them generally. This theoretically allows drivers to let the fast cars by, or to not worry about letting a slower car by.
