Looks like GT4 @ Road Atlanta (30 mimutes), Sim Lab PCC @ Lime Rock (25 minutes), Advanced Mazda @ Hockenheim (35 minutes) and Michelin Pilot Challenge GT4 @ Road Atlanta (120 minutes) for me this week.
I'm trying to keep the possibility of completing enough rounds to get the Participation Credit in any four of those open but that's a lot of cars to try to be competitive in a single week so I may prioritize GT4 which I must be enjoying more now with the new wheel and pedals.
The only base content of those four is Lime Rock and Sim Lab PCC (3 of the 4 cars anyway but all the ESR boyz have the Mustang so 4/4 as far as I'm concerned).
Christmas Eve will probably conflict until midnight. Christmas Day is hard to predict. I'm bound to be in less than top form with a few adult beverages consumed but I have no idea how late people are going to stay or even stay over. Most of us have Monday off. Prime time for me as far as lapping with you guys could be Friday night or maybe even Thursday night.
Yeah, don't see races with all four series happening this week unless I can squeeze in a Sim Lab PCC tonight, preferably a no-pressure single entry Mustang or Jetta race.

Sim Lab at Lime Rock might turn out to be a shitfest. That chicane is deadly. Lots of cars on track with varying speeds and also some very close. I'll run it with the GR86. Don't have the track for rallycross but there is another rallycross series that I might enter to raise my license level. I'll be on during the festivus but as with Tom I might be a tad reckless...

Yeah, I only last night realized that it's Lime Rock with chicane. I've had a race ender at that chicane, prudence will have me abstaining from a ranked race. Probably for the best, should focus on GT4 this week.

Too much going on here, only gridded up for two races.
Sim Lab PCC was shaping up to be a disaster after I got spun by a low rated and ranked driver with an idiotic move at an even dumber place to pass and again got caught up in an incident with him tangling with the newbie slow but seemingly careful driver who inherited the lead of our three car race. At one point I was 7X and last place. Fortunately, Mr Win it on the 1st Lap Despite Being a Second a Lap Slower went a lap down for some reason that sent him to the pits to come out right in front of me and Newbie left so I scored a win that I certainly won't tally as one. Lost a chunk of SR and gained a little iR.
Race 2 was GT4 @ Road Atlanta. Clean race, 3X from wheel offs, one scare, some luck with attrition and poor math with two or three drivers running out of fuel on the last lap, finished P11 of 30 entries right behind Coffey as the highest placing BMWs.
Unfortunately, I forgot about Advanced Mazda till it was too late on Monday, would have had time to do a race, so now I'll have to run every remaining track of the ones that I own in order to get 8 rounds in.
The timing never worked out for Michelin Pilot Challenge so I'm in the same boat, need to run all of the remaining rounds for which I have the tracks.
I ended the week A4.42 x 2514

Ran a GR86 race at Lime Rock. I was just being careful & made it to the final lap with 0 incidents until a douchebag tapped me into T1. I hit the wall & gained 4x. I was in 10th I think & would've finished with a boost in SR & about even in IR. It was going too well. What a tough track to race.
