The ever vigilant Internet sleuth Superannuation has dug up some more domain registrations, and they pertain to a possibly racing game of sorts from Disney. The domains registered vary from having a .net to .com on them, and carry the monikers DisneySpeedster, DisneySpeedsters, DisneyRacers, DisneyRacing, DisneyKart, DisneyKartRacing, and DisneyKarting. Lots of Disney in there. There’s even a Disney Speedsters Twitter account, but it hasn’t tweeted yet. Sounds, to me, like Disney is possibly looking to create its own version of Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing, only with Disney characters. I’m no psychic though.

Here are some promotional images for DriveClub, Evolution Studios’ PlayStation 4 racer, which are so lovely as to be almost incredible.

Gran Turismo 6 is a thing, as you well know by now, and while I posted a few shots for you yesterday, I missed quite a few thanks to a hanging download and my ISP throwing a fit over the sun shining. Today, I have remedied the matter by posting almost 100 shots below. Some may be dupes, it’s hard for me to tell unless it’s a Merc or a Ferrari – both of which are in there much to my delight – so apologies for that. However, there are also shots of the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa, interiors and Silverstone, along with shots pertaining to GT Academy. All are mixed together in a tasty boulibase for you.

Enjoy, and thank AGB for posting them.
