No, the YouTube thumbnail for the video you see above is not Gran Turismo 7.
This article is about Project Motor Racing, and the promotional image initially tricked me into thinking it was something else. Did it mislead you as well? If so, it seems like the developers at Straight4 Studios are successfully grabbing attention.
This isn’t quite Gran Carismo levels of bad (now renamed to Grand Car Racing), but it’s obvious the game is trying to attract more eyeballs than usual based on the thumbnail and title. The composition of the cars in the thumbnail is a direct copy of what Polyphony Digital does for its monthly update videos, and then the car pack it’s promoting is even called GT Icons.

You could argue this is just a coincidence, but I doubt it is.
Many people were tricked, too – the most popular comment on the YouTube video said others initially believed it was an update to Gran Turismo 7. So, congratulations to the Project Motor Racing team – you really got us!
