Looks like Sim Lab PCC @ Bathurst, Advanced Mazda @ Watkins Glen and maybe Michelin Pilot Challenge @ Daytona.
The schedule for MPC is confusing with Sep 20 noted for Round 1. Sep 20 is a Tuesday and this series runs on Sat and Sun GMT. Sep 20 is the start of Week 2 and sprint GT4 is @ Daytona Week 2 so that's probably what they mean.
Almost certainly Sim Lab PCC and Advanced Mazda, then.

I only did one purposely serious race this week (Advanced Mazda, Watkins Glen) but ended up having a pretty fun one with the Sim Lab PCC Solstice (Bathurst) when there were four or five entries.
Coffey and I teamed up for I think two Sim Lab Soltice races for Safety Rating. He managed to make a disaster of one and we both got caught up in a pileup so net for whichever day that was I lost a small amount of SR but Coffey took a beating.
The Mazdas got new tires which have made them more difficult to drive in a good way IMO and with pronounced cold tire behavior. I've only done one race but I think it's better, can't just jump in and drive at 100%+ with no real skill or racecraft.
I couldn't get close to my TB time (2:24.2) with the Mustang @ Bathhurst nor even to my target lap time (2:25s) and ran out of time to gain the required speed to enter a race with confidence
By the time that I sat down on Sunday evening, Pat was wrapping up so I did the same and went and watched Top Gear Season 5 Episode 1 which just came out on Amazon.
I ended the week A4.69 x 2315

Didn't make it Sunday night. Hopped on last night for a few laps. The Mazda at the new free track is quite fun. Didn't know about the new tires but it did seem to require smoother right foot control than before, especially going into that downhill left hander. That track is something good overall.
