You say lower down that you actually have a V2, which helps a fair bit.
Anyhow - the best racing game around is Grand Prix Legends. Your PC will
struggle in races (though hotlapping on your own should be OK), but go out
and buy it now anyway - it's very cheap, and will repay your investment
handsomely when you have the system for it.
As for games that will run on your current system - Grand Prix 2, although
old, is still a good game, and should run very smoothly on a P166.
If you prefer NASCAR, NASCAR 2 should do. Or Indycar Racing 2 for CART.
Maybe CART Precision Racing. I don't know much about US racing, though.
Rallying is a little trickier. I happen to like Network Q RAC Rally
Championship by Europress (what a name!), but it's probably extremely
difficult to find outside Europe by now, as it's 3-4 years old.
Finally, touring cars. There isn't a really realistic sim here - TOCA is
the best you'll do, but it's pretty arcadey.
By all means download the demo of GPL - it's worth it. But do remember that
two years have passed since it came out, and there are a *lot* of patches,
addons etc that have been released since (almost all unofficial - the GPL
community is very active), which will make it even better.
When you have a faster PC, get Grand Prix 3 for its excellent weather
simulation, NASCAR 4 for US racing...
Do read others' opinions in this group, as we all disagree a lot... :-)
