Oh, boy, I'm eligible for 6 of the above this week; too much.
Porsche Cup will be my featured races with both the open and fixed setup series.
Support races for me will be Sim Labs with the Mustang (and probably also take a chance on fun with the Miata) and Advanced Mazda MX-5.

Long Beach is very fun with the Miatas but seeing how three of us lapping with abandon alongside one of the fast guys who joined us, racked up 100+ incident points and destroyed several cars, entering a race that goes on my permanent record poses a risk to reward ratio that is too high; we can have as much or more fun on our own.
I will take a chance on Miatas @ Okayama, though. That crowed generally seems better behaved and between the Mustang and Miata I'll have plenty of practice laps.
I've done 1 lap with the Porsche Cup car, feel like I need to get the Sim Lab races out of the way before Sunday so that I can focus on the 992.
Coffey suggested the VW Beetle Light rallycross car @ Sonoma Raceway. Sure enough, probably the funnest rallyX layout that I've tried. The Beetle Light seems to be a little detuned from the others, less frantic.
Considering who has what, it looks like Miatas @ Okayama for our Saturday night fun, probably a race or two later in the night.

Decent week of racing till a car spun in front of me at the last corner of lap 8 Porsche Cup (Sunday 22:45 PDT) which negated much of my SR and all iR progress. Got luckyish with back-to-back Sim Lab Mustang FR500S races (Okayama). A double-downshift Race 1 on Lap 1 spun me out in front of Hutton who had nowhere to go but my left quarter panel. He survived that but the car behind him took to the grass to avoid my mishap which became a sled ride for him through the grass that ended with a big impact at the next corner with Hutty making for a bad race for three of us. Got a pretty quick reprieve the next race qualifying P2 some 1/100ths ahead of DH with my first 1:42.xxx. He had better race pace and I wanted to correct for the previous race so we worked together to get away from P4 to finish 2-3 and better than negate the previous race. With two Sim Lab races in the Mustang, I ran out of time for Mazdas. I chickened out of Advanced Mazda MX-5 at Long Beach, risk to reward too high. Porsche Cup Fixed went good. Kinda lonely P3. Porsche Cup Open was a disaster (see pic above). It's unlikely that Mazdas at Long Beach would have been any worse. Lesson learned? Ended the week B / 4.33 / 1613

Won back to back races in Miatas at Oulton Park Sunday but probably because i was with all the low rating folks including myself so I'll jus chalk it up as luck, cocked wheel and all. But I had fun and wasn't taken out so I'll take it. I did manage to set up my old G25 last night and got it working right, and we're now back on center!
