Here’s the news article for it: https://www.gran-turismo.com/au/news/00_8604785.html

No new track. Guess they didn’t have time for one possibly OR Spa was going to be the revealed track but then complications have resulted in it not being included this update.

Either way, nice to see the new cars. Will have to grab a Super Formula when the maintenance finishes

We already got a track this month.

We already got a track this month.

It should be noted that the title of the trailer says 'Additional Free Update - March 2019' as opposed to the 'Free Update - March 2019'. This is a supplementary update to the previous one, therefore explaining why no additional course is added.

Though we will have to wait till likely end of April for the next track. If any.

Overtaking System Information
- Increased Engine Output:
　・Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Honda '19
　・Super Formula Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Toyota '19

- Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS)

　・Dodge SRT Tomahawk X Vision Gran Turismo
　・Dodge SRT Tomahawk GTS-R Vision Gran Turismo
　・Dodge SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo

　・McLaren P1 GTR
　・Mercedes-AMG F1 W08 EQ Power+ 2017
　・Mercedes-AMG F1 W08 EQ Power+ (Color Variation) 2017

Other Improvements and Adjustments
- Fixed an issue wherein with the transmission set to [Manual], the gear shifts could be performed faster when using a H-pattern shifter in manual-clutch mode than with a paddle shift or Wireless Controller. (The following controller were affected: Thrustmaster TH8A Add-On Shifter, Thrustmaster TH8 RS Shifter, Logitech Driving Force Shifter, Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ);
- Fixed an issue in "Sport" mode wherein forced Time Penalties wouldn’t function correctly in the automated penalty zone;
- When performing a gear change using an H-pattern shifter and clutch, and with the transmission set to [Manual], a grinding sound effect will now be played when the revs are not matching;
- Various other issues have been addressed.

Thank you for your continued support and please continue to enjoy Gran Turismo Sport!

I wonder why the LMP cars didnt get some battery options eg. the Audi R18, Porsche 919, Toyota ts050 etc.

Interesting one for me the least.

 

[TonyJZX]

its really cool that they have crunching syncros but did their fix the digital clutch?

They miss the wood for the trees.

 

[SDSPOWER01]

Is the throttle still non-linear??

 

[Epic B]

Finally, we can use the KERS and DRS.

 

[Tassie_tiger]

"Additionally, the DRS can only be activated while in an overtaking zone"

H-pattern no longer faster? MEGATON

DRS and KERS? UPDATE REDEEMED

Because they aren't manually activated.

I suspect it’s like Formula 1, they’ll be designated DRS zones for every circuit - almost always on a straight of some sort. Usually back/main straights, but these days there’s often two or even three DRS zones on some tracks, which means you find them on other straights besides the back/main straight.

This is awesome!

Side note: can anyone confirm or deny custom liveries on Superformulas?

Yeh, just took the W08 and a Tomahawk for a quick test.

It seems that KERS only cars have an "overtake" HUD symbol, and you can use it at any stage anywhere on track, and the symbol doesn't change colour unless you push the button.
Cars with KERS and DRS don't have "overtake", but instead a "DRS" symbol.
This is transparent until you reach an overtaking zone where it changes to solid white, and then flashes red when in use.

There are no track markers designating these zones that I could see.
The DRS seems to be triggered at almost any speed (if on the right part of the track) provided you are at 3/4 throttle or better.
As for the right part of track, I had a quick squirt around Monza.
Almost any straight will do, even the short section between the 2 Lesmos.

 

[TonyJZX]

Can you actually configure the DS4 to have the DRS/KERS button? It didnt seem possible when it asked me to do it for the SF19 races.

Yep. 👍
I went to Options > Controllers and assigned "overtake" to R3 before I tried a Custom race with the DS4.

Have they fixed the bug of 45 Dip - Lizzie's Balloon always being the first song that plays? It's annoying me more than I thought it would.

 

[StealthVel]

In the post you wrote '1.39' before listing the changelog, instead of '1.36'

 

[FoRiZon]

Yes No

 

[bduddy]

Weird that the modern LMP cars don't have KERS...

 

[Betty blue]

Do the SF19's have different sounds?
