Been away from GPL for about 6 months. I have already downloaded 1.2 patch.
I was wondering what other upgrades (sound,graphics) and mods all the
experts here recommend. Also in what order should I install them. Thanks.

One of the most significant changes for me was eliminating the variable
ratio in the steering.  I have a lot more control of the car without it.
From the readme:

By default, GPL uses a speed-sensitive steering ratio.  At and above 60MPH, the
steering ratio specified by your car setup is used.  Below that speed, your the
steering ratio will be set to somewhere between 7:1 and the ratio defined by
your car setup.  GPL does this to make it possible to exit your pit stall when
pit road is crowded, and to make navigating hairpin turns easier.  You can
disable this feature by adding the following two lines to core.ini

[ Hack ]
steer_ratio = 0       ;
