Using the Zenmaster mod which shows segment locations (there weren't any segments on Mech Isle loop, so not visible). You can choose your Pin colour and whether or not to display other people's pins as well. Very good. It's quite hard to keep up with all the mods, but will be very useful for DRS this week.
Another part of Zenmaster lets you see segment results with customisable points. I've set those up for DRS already so first FTS is 15 etc.
Nice to be able to see real-time points in-game (well not quite "in" game, but during the game
)

@alex_cycles you really have sauce set up nicely. Silly q but if you toggle to remove the Zwift overlay does sauce remain visible? Aside from the route map you have all you need.
Is that your trainer being so noisey in the background?

Yes it does. But you then miss out on the markers showing how far people are behind you, the powerups over their heads and the "ride-ons".
Ride-ons is no loss, but the other two are quite useful. I haven't actually tried racing HUDless, but you're right. Probably could.
Pretty much yes. You can have a map in Sauce as well, but mine's not working at the moment for some reason I CBA to work out
YES. I like the trainer fan sound though. Although it's not as intrusive as some peoples. I also prefer some game sounds and breathing sounds and talking or race radio (in a team race) over music. I feel it makes the whole thing more representative of the experience.
I'm not using any special microphones - just the ones on the MBP. But I'm fairly happy with the output.

Did a recce last night of the route. I've done various bits of it from other events. What is surprising is for a flat route, its got lots of little digs in it- this may catch you out if someone goes for a sneaky attack

"old fart" learning new things in here. I had my new bike for my trainer few days ago and today I was dare to approaching that bike with respect for a closer look. For a moment I was panicking how I charge the Di2 battery. I was checking seat post and handlebar but couldn't find charging port. So back to next to my computer and reading owners manual. After a moment I find it, okay it's in a rear derailleur. After that I was wondering where is battery charger, I have a gable but where is charger (bit of panicking again), back to computer. Okay, power supply with usb-port or computer will do that. Exciting moment to get to know new things.

I might be a bit late to the party, but is there a CC/Splitters B team in this season’s ZRL, (if so) what time do they race, and could I join?

Hmm, that’s right in the middle of feeding time at my zoo, unfortunately. Even this week, which is short, is a bit of an ask - so it’s “thanks, but no thanks”, sadly 😞
Best of luck to you, though!
