What is Underground Racing:

A new dynamic racing event and series which is reserved currently to elite level teams in Esports.

These events are invite only and the idea is to keep race size down to a maximum of 4-6 teams per event with a maximum of 6 riders per team with 5 riders counting towards final results. Having a maximum number of 36 riders per race helps to keep the racing exciting and dynamic and avoid the dreaded mass blob draft style racing which ultimately always ends up in a big mass sprint. Teams are encouraged to race aggressively and make the events exciting.

Additional points can be awarded for most combative riders per event.

Qualification for Underground Racing:

In order to qualify for this elite series teams must be in the top 50 teams as listed in ZwiftPower team rankings for your category (organiser discretion is in place for new teams). All riders should have good quality racing history visible via ZwiftPower, and dual recording is essential to avoid undue scrutiny and questionable data and ultimately disqualification.

Heart Rate Monitor use is essential to race and Dual recording power is also advised.

Applications to join UNDERGROUND Racing should be made via simon@levelvelo.cc

Courses and Events: Series 1

Team managers can make 2 course nominations per year. Courses for the 1st series are all under 20km and each with a unique feature which will challenge teams and riders in different ways.

Events are held on the 3rd Friday of every month and will build towards an annual Super Underground Series championship battle.
