It seems that there has been some confusion around the upcoming season addon for GP3. Hasbro have now stated that a patch addressing general gameplay issues that exist in Grand Prix 3 will be free, while the upcoming 1999 season content won’t be free. Clear?
Their statement:
Hasbro Interactive will soon offer a free patch for Grand Prix 3 to address the joystick and steering wheel issues identified just after the game’s European release. The patch will be available for download at the Hasbro Interactive Web site.
Separately, Hasbro Interactive is planning to release an expansion pack for Grand Prix 3 that will include the 1999 F1 season. Details regarding the expansion pack will be shared around ECTS, in early September.
GP3 is a simulation of the 1998 or 2000 Formula One World Championships. It includes the 16/17 tracks from the seasons and allows the player to select from 11 teams.
