Zwift has officially launched Zwift Racing Score, a new ranking system that reflects current fitness and racing skills. Zwifters entering events will only be able to join fields that match their own abilities, making Zwift racing fairer and more competitive. For the ambitious, racers can race in a category higher than their own ability for the chance to secure more ranking points.
For the first time, racers’ categories will be determined by more than simply their power curve. Racing skill alongside fitness is what makes a successful racer, and so Zwift Racing Score rewards racer skill points added based on finishing position, with bonus points available for podium placings. Racing Score also accounts for the field quality and size, with more points available in races with highly competitive fields. Points are available for every finishing position, and at the end of every race, Zwifters will see the impact on their Zwift Racing Score displayed in their finish-line results. Racing Score may increase or decrease depending on the two variables – power and race finishing position.
Zwift World Series, ZRacing Community Festival, Zwift Academy Make Up Races, and Community Racing events will all be using Zwift Racing Score from October 7th. Zwifters will be able to find their current Zwift Racing Score in their profile, located in the Zwift Companion App, the Zwift Game or on Zwift.com. Zwift Racing Score increases the number of standard categories from four to five, allowing for more closely matched racing:
