If you are talking about BRVR, it is not a race platform currently. I recall ibooji (spelling) in the BRVR thread mentioning a avatar in the videos, similar to the bkool version, being thought of. But it is some way down the list, if possible. You mainly ride/race the course or yourself.

It's the competitive nature of the bkool leagues and diversity of rides I enjoy and if this was done properly with other trainers there would be little else competition for me. It's just that bkool is not interested in being all inclusive. Big ring 've looks great and they have really expanded the number of rides over the last 6 months. I'll give it a go at some point!

The best thing about BigringVR It's FREE , they have a page on these very forums, have a problem? Post in the forum and they get back to you very quickly, they let you choose the next ride to be released they listen to any features or ideas you have.

They have leader boards for the rides so you can race against max 5 people but are non draftable, videos are pre-downloaded so cuts down on bandwidth.
What's not to like
There also quite active on strava

+1 on the response from their team. I emailed them a atom related question and the response was very prompt and they went out of their way to contact wattbike.

Have you managed to put any times on the leader boards yet Dean?

Dean are those Bkool or Neo Watts?

It does just seem like a matter of time now doesn't it. Leaving bkool will still be a wrench for me, but my main motivation is trying to catch the people ahead of me. I wonder if we could set up something similar to the handicap races on zwift. If you, Bill etc move over it'll be the final piece of the puzzle really. Realistically your pro unit will clap out in the future anyway... That seems to be the point where others have gone in a different direction.

THey've already got handicap races over on the dark side!

Some work by having the number of laps vary, others staggered start times. And we could always try weight adjustments too.

 

[JLaw]

Me too wouldn't hesitate.

Likewise. They've been very responsive to issues I've raised.
