The Dallara SF19 Super Formula '19 is a racing car built by Dallara for use in the Super Formula Championship. It first appears in Gran Turismo Sport, where it was introduced as part of Update 1.36. It will also appear in Gran Turismo 7.

Two versions of the car are available in the game, featuring Honda and Toyota engines, respectively. Apart from different engine sounds, branding stickers and car numbers, the two cars are otherwise identical; however liveries created for each version are not interchangeable.

In-game description

The top level Formula Racing in Japan, the Super Formula Series switched the chassis of their race cars to the Dallara SF19 for the 2019 Season competition.

The SF19 is a successor to the SF14 that was used from 2014 to 2018, also designed by Dallara of Italy. Carrying over the agile and light weight concept, the new car was made to meet the F1 safety requirement established by the FIA in 2016, including the introduction of the HALO cockpit protection system for improved safety. It also incorporates revisions in its aerodynamics to balance competition and entertainment value, improving controllability when in close proximity to other cars so that it will be easier to overtake.

The car continues to use the NRE engine introduced in 2014. This is a turbocharged 2 litre inline 4 cylinder with direct injection, specially developed by Toyota and Honda under common regulations and sharing the same components such as the turbine and ECU. The maximum output is unchanged at over 542 BHP, but there is a very fierce development competition within the narrow range allowed between the two engine producers.
