You should get a lot better than that with your specs, but if you did automatic graphics at first, then the FPS will be really high.
Also, cut down the detail in the mirrors

My specs are below, and I use Starstorm Gfx drivers, but I don't think that has made much difference to GP4 anyway.
I run @ 33FPS in the game setting ( I don't use Fraps in GP4) @ 1280*1024. I have all settings on max except:
Heat haze and video screens off;
Bump mapping off (although turning it on for me lowers PO!);
Mirrors to cars only. I have tweaked the gfx file so that I have the cars, the tracks and grass and barriers only (no smoke or anything either), and the cull distance for the detail and cars is 50m;
Satic environment maps
Reflections are high, but the track reflections in the wet are set to low. This gives you the really reflective track but a much lower PO than leaving it on high where the reflections are less.
I use mainly vipers/enzoj's cars
I don't have a wheel with an LCD screen, and this saves 10% PO.
My PO in the dry @ the start of the race in Europe (which is the most demanding track at the start) is 90% at the back of the grid (only 20cars), and may peak to about 100% at the first corner sometimes.
If it's raining, the PO goes up 20% everywhere.
If it's dry but is going to rain later, the PO goes up 30%. So the only times it goes above 100% is at the start in most tracks in the rain.
I don't have AF, AA or V-sync on. Interestingly though, if I set AA to 4x, I get no PO hit in car, but when I go into trackside camera, the PO will be up to 50% higher than when AA is off. If I turn AF on ,I automatically get a 30% PO hit.
I'll send you my gfx config if you want.
