Looks like Sim Lab PCC @ Nordschleife and GT4 @ Oran Park for me this week.
I was tempted to give Porsche Cup a go this season benefitted by my new gear but it's the one that I least want to race, too much pure su
The Toyota GR86 gets its own class with Sim Lab PCC. I'll know better once Coffey and I can get some wheel to wheel with Mazda and Toyota how they stack up but at Nords fwiw the results have the Toyota a little quicker on lap time.
The GR86 is fixed setup when raced in GR86 Cup.
Sim Lab PCC should be open setup.

I'll probably run Sim Lab at Nords later on tonight. I really enjoy the new GR86. I ran it at VIR this week. Made a boo boo in Q that invalidated my lap & then ran out of time to finish my 2nd lap. I started 17th I think. Racing was surprisingly fair & clean overall. I ended up finishing 6th. Ran an offroad race also for easy credits. Those are always fun. Hop in & race. So far I'm really enjoying the new season.

Never mind about easy money, I don't have enough of the tracks for 8 rounds but was reminded that the RallyX courses are usually included with the road courses at the same venue, in case that factors into track purchases.
Not worth the effort to look it up but I think that I got a Sim Lab Mustang race in early in the week late evening. Only four FR500S entries and three of them were faster than me so I took an iRating hit but managed a 0X so I gained some SR, albeit less than I expected at only 0.14 for 3 clean laps of Nords plus as many corners as I could complete before I ran out of fuel after the race but before the last finisher crossed the finish line.
The remainder of my weeknights left no time for sim time, can't remember what happened Fri night, Sat night was on with RM, RC and MC with both Riches willing to do a GT4 race but the splits weren't favorable, too few cars after the split @ 30. I had no opportunity Sunday until I think 21:30 which worked out well with 19 entries and better pace from benefitting from being alone to concentrate. I qualified 5th and finished 4th on a what proved to be a very intense Oran Park GP track to lap for 30 minutes with most mistakes liable to cost many positions and T1/T2 a potential race ender. The GT4 BMW felt great there, especially enjoyed the feeling of it getting very light if not airborne in two places. I feel like I got lucky with the decent amount of entries at this time slot, could have easily faced missing out on GT4 this week with only the 23:30 PST time slot left that I could have made work but it would have been rough if there had been only 6 entries, enough to be official and count towards participation but last place is last place whether its 30 cars or 6 going to cost a chunk of iRating.
I ended the week A4.70 x 2495
