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.
