None AFAIK. SoS maybe, but that doesn't seem to count as a sim anyway.
I suppose it might be possible to convert it for N4. Two tons of Detroit
steel should be fun to handle there...

   There is a history of track convertors for Papyrus sims.  Many of the
tracks of GPL
have been converted for use with N3, but they are not widely available.
However, several of the tracks will not work properly due to the limitations
of N3's track format.  Tracks with lots of elevation changes(The Ring, Spa)
and/or narrow hairpins(Rouen, Monaco) present a real problem for the N3
engine.
  The 'HOPE" is that N4 is close enough in file formats to GPL to allow a
complete conversion of tracks like the Ring.  However at this time, no
progress has been made
by the established track gurus.  Pay attention to sites like theuspits.com
or GPLEA, they will probably be the first one who suceed.

"Rally Championship 2000" have some monster stages, and its a good sim IMHO.
It's been a while since i played it, but as far as i recall some of the
stages are 10-15 minutes pure intense adrenaline rush.
