Hey Serowbot, I read in the dual boot linux thread that you are into GPL!  Do you race on line?  I used to live and breath GPL.  Belonged to a couple of leagues and man was that a lot of fun!
GPL has to be one of the best racing Sims of all time.
I tried installing it on my Win 7 box a couple of years ago but I had forgotten how to set up my wheel and pedals as well as a few other tweaks.  It is still on the computer, maybe I'll look at it again.  I used to frequent quite a few web forums that covered Sim racing but I don't even know if they still exist.
I was really into other racing sims too, GTR, GT Legends, Rfactor, Richard Burns Rally, The F1 20XX series.
I am planning a new gaming computer build and have researched and found that Rfactor 2 is a current good sim, I tried Iracing for a few months when it first came out, might give that a look too.
