EVENT RULES
This event has the following requirements:
Category Enforced.EVENT DESCRIPTION
This event is using the newer type of pack dynamics - Pack Dynamics v4 (EXPERIMENTAL)
IMPORTANT - PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE LATEST VERSION OF ZWIFT
The Goal:
This new version of PD has the goal of bringing more aspects of IRL racing into Zwift. The main changes introduced focus on reducing the forward and backwards movement of cyclists in the pack in order to try and reduce the excessive acceleration of large groups.
What you can expect:
- More stable movement in the packs, with less movement forward if you are not actively pulling.
- Moving up in the group should feel a bit harder.
- Packs speeds should be reduced unless there is a concerted effort to pull the group.
- The system might use auto-braking when inside a pack. If that happens you will see the power numbers flashing red on your screen.
Feedback:
- Did you encountered any problems with this new change?
- How was the racing experience?
- Did it felt like there were more chances for small break aways to succeed?
