Hi, I was/am also a big fan of GP2, as well as GPL.

It is a big change driving GPL after all those years of GP2, and does 
take a while to get used to, However, I would recommend that you 
perservere with GPL, as it will provide great rewards once you get the 
hang of it.

A couple of points to note, I'm not familiar with either of your 
controllers, if they are digital you will need to put the steering 
sensitivity slider bar (in one of the GPL options screens) all the way 
over to the right. However, if the controllers are analogue, then you 
will want to place the slider bar somewhere between the middle 
position and the far left position. This will affect how the steering 
feels. Also make sure you are calibrating the wheel properly (both in 
win9x and in the GPL calibration screen). One last point, select the 
direct input controller type, and not the other one, I think these 
points may help you. 

I hope you overcome this steering problem, as GPL really is worth it, 
practice make perfect.
