OTR’s Snap Crackle Pop DRS Preview Edition is a special 4-week series where we race the climbs from DIRT Racing Series, and only segment times count. Race result is sum of segment times. GC leaderboard over 5 stages: https://zwiftpower.com/league.php?id=1678Opens a new window

Riders need to join ZwiftPower.com to see their race results as sum of segment times.

4 time slots on Wed for evenings in APAC, EMEA, US-East and US-West.
Plus an “Encore” time slot on Sun morning in US-West / afternoon in EMEA.

On the Wed and Sun before each of weeks 2/3/4/5 of DIRT Racing Series, you can recon/race the climbs for DIRT races 2/3/4/6 respectively.
Some routes are different from the DIRT racing series, but climbs are the same.
These climbs are generally longer than the typical 1-3min SCP punchy climb, but still fun and challenging!
Some sprints are included (partly for fun, and partly because they can’t be excluded from ZwiftPower calculations).

Ride at a relaxed pace between the timed segments.
Work together to optimize draft for faster segment times.

If yellow beacon is present (usually in US-East, US-West and Encore time slots), then:
- slow regroup with yellow beacon after each sprint segment.
- stop and regroup with yellow beacon after each climb segment.
If no yellow beacon (or you fall behind), then form your own group with riders nearby.

Race as many times as you want, climb the leaderboard in ZwiftPower, only your best result counts per stage.
Team standings with best 3 riders per team, per category.

All categories start in a single pen.
Results split per WKG category in ZwiftPower.
No power ups, default drafting, no TT bikes.
