Looks like FF Weekend Warriors @ Oulton Park, Formula Ford 1600 Trophy and Skip Barber @ Spa are the roadracing possibilities for me this week.
I can no longer complete 8 rounds of Advanced Mazda without buying a track, so I'm done with that.
FF1600 is risky so I may trade $2 for less aggravation and abandon that one, too.

Good race with the Skip Barber car @ Spa last night. Obviously fulfilled RacPar but I may enter one for the fun of it. I was getting quicker as the race went on, not many laps with the SBF2000 recently. There are TWO chassis adjustments for this car plus tire pressure but it's enough to make it fun everywhere.
Oran Park is fun to hot lap with the Formula Ford. If I have enough pace to get away from the less skilled hoard, I'll probably end up trying a race if a big split comes up.
LMP2 @ Lime Rock even with the chicane is decent SR farming, X corners in ~48 seconds at a track day pace..
GT4 BMW M4 reminded me why I don't like driving it with two elbows flailing saves at Nords thanks to its refusal to do anything but understeer. 1 or 2X and felt a twang in my left shoulder that I'm theoretically rehabbing with gentle use of my Logitech G Pro wheel.

Formula 1600 Trophy was a 9X disaster, I'll be sticking to league and AI racing with that car in the future.
I was barely on pace in-class for the FF Weekend Warriors race @ Oulton Park Island and continued my poor qualifying performance so when I had to use the escape road at the chicane on the first lap, my race was effectively over. Lost 5-7 positions after gaining 2 then had to slow down for the penalty (iRacing really needs to improve that system). I still finished 3rd in class but it was a relatively boring race.
I abstained from any more racing. Wrangling the wheel seems to mostly be good for my shoulder problem but unfortunately sudden movement is bad and caused a few twangs over the course of the week so I decided to park it.
