I have decided to analyze the very first part of the GT7 opening movie, which details the history of the automotive and motorsport industry. Here is what I discovered through reverse image searching and a lot of watching:

0:20 - An image of Gottlieb Daimler's first horseless carriage
0:32 - The 1895 Paris-Bordeuax-Paris race, which was the first of its kind
0:41 - The birth of Michelin Tires and possibly the discovery of their mascot, Bibendum
0:47 - La Jamais Contente's speed record of 105.882 km/h set on April 29, 1899
