I have a 21" monitor and I completely suck at GPL. I'm sure I would
completely suck just as much or more on a smaller monitor, too.

The funny thing is that since I've had the sim (October 1998) I've gone from
640 x 480 up to 1024 x 768 and back again! Even though I have the computing
power to run a full field at the highest resolution without any dramas I
still believe that I get a whisker better "smoothness" at the lower end of
the scale. This fractional gain in sensitivity far outweighs the
"prettyness" of the finer graphics...I can still put the front wheel exactly
where I want it!

It may not improve your lap times, but it will definitely be more fun!

Should be in there. Make sure you don't put it higher than your monitor can
handle or you'll warp the space-time continuum and kill us all.

Of course the down side to upgrading to a good monitor is that you then
realise just how much the rest of your system is lacking so you then feel
the need to upgrade further!
