Zwift Racing Score
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this video, I dive into Zwift's new Racing Score system, which has shifted from FTP-based categorization to a performance-based metric. Initially, I was confused and disappointed by my low seed score of 344, but this change forced me to improve my weaknesses, like sprinting. Watch as I adapt my racing strategy and see my score jump to 440 in just a few weeks. What should my next goal be? 500? 600? Share your thoughts in the comments! Enjoy the sped-up race footage that boosted my score.

I think 500 is a good and achievable goal. I was upper b with a ftp 4.2 w/kg ftp and hover around 575. Something to keep in mind is that 600 - 1000 is A level performance. So 500 isn't realy the middle, of the population, it's quite a bit higher.
@@JonicSc2Strategy great, thanks. 500 it is! 🙂
unless you are just racing TT - the 30 second and 10 minute power is much more important to racing. Results are also included. I think so far the races I have taken part in the groupings is to broad - having over 100 racing points difference between riders is significant.
@@MarcDebenham hello. I have increased my 30s power significantly since the Racing Score system started. And my racing score has increased also at the same time. It is now 449. 🙂
Your intro made me laugh as my racing score is low 200s!
Glad that it amused you. 🙂😂 Are you racing a lot? What are your goals?
I'm at 99 and have been since they fixed the scoring system. It would be great to set a goal if we knew how the scoring system works, but Zwift is keeping that a secret.
@@zwiftingwithdemonhunter that’s true. But giving every race your best and winning whenever possible will give you a higher score. I have also noticed that when I have good power numbers across the power curve I will increase my Score, so I now sprint even if it’s not to gain places in the end. 🙂
@@Maydeus my goal was to get to cat c and be competitive. Now I am not so sure. Just trying to enjoy racing as much as possible.
@@fraserp2377 yes. The new system made everything very uncertain. As long as it doesn’t take the fun out of racing I’m glad. But the first few races were very frustrating for me. Now I’ve kind of decided to go for even hundreds or fifties as goal. Now that I’m at 440, the goal is 500, when I’m above 500 I’ll go for 550 or 600 and so on. With the old system I knew that I could reach B but never A. With the new system I have still to learn what my max potential really is.
Go for it!
@@blaudden I sure will! 🙂
Hi, I am coming back to zwift after the summer and can't enter any races as I have no seed score. What's the best way to get started again in races, it's kinda annoying because I just want to jump back in to a cat b equivalent race.. thanks
@@crossrich hmm, great question. You should still be able to enter races at or above your level. Try entering a regular A-D race and then you should get a Race Score for sure.
@@Maydeus great so I have to race at cat A lol
@@crossrich if you’ve been away from Zwift all summer you should be able to enter pretty much any category. Have you tried updating the companion app?
@@Maydeus good shout thanks 👍
Racing Score number may not be your objective. Instead, you can focus on things like zwiftpower country ranking, monthly zwift races general classification, etc. This way, racing score will only be a indicator of how well you are doing.
That’s one way of looking at it. As a matter of fact I follow my ranking on ZwiftRacing.app as that score seems pretty relevant. If I understand correctly, the guy behind ZwiftRacing.app has helped Zwift develop their new Racing Score system.
