My vote for sim racing these days would be iRacing, assuming you're willing to put up with the monthly fee. The laser scanned tracks are an order of magnitude better than the tracks in GPL.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot for old time's sake. It really looks dated compared to newer sims.
iRacing seems to be the way to go, driving familiar tracks. I want to see if a newer wheel and pedals can compensate for the absence of any kind or road feel which has always been my excuse for being an awful sim racer.
