I always get max frame rates [around 37] when there are NO cars on track,
for example in practice mode.
With ALL cars on race, and with MOST track objects displayed, the frame rate
can drop to 20 fps, at the start.

1024x768 is a real graphics pig, I've found. If 800x600 sounds low to
you, go run GP2 in SVGA (max res for that sim), then try GPL again &
realise how much better things are today :)

Try 25% detail bias, 6 sounds, no "In Mirrors" features, and "Cars and
Track" mirror detail. Should produce a pleasing sim experience and the frame
rates you'd like. I've found that Detail Bias and Sounds (unless you have
one of the latest sound cards) are the two biggest drains on frame rate for
a given screen resolution.
Alternatively, sell the Banshee and get a Voodoo3 3000 and be in GPL heaven.

I find the visual difference between GPL at 640 vs. GPL at 1024 to be
dramatic.
