Pas Racing Series Announced: New Gravel, New Bikes, New Unlocks!

Zwift + Pas Normal Studios are partnering for a race series April 6 to May 3, and it’s going to be a gravel blowout! The series features three new gravel-focused routes and is timed to line up with new gravel frames and wheelsets in Zwift’s Drop Shop. And on top of all that, we’ve got a kit unlock on offer as well!

These races will be popular for several reasons, including prominence on the calendar as they effectively replace Zwift’s regular ZRacing events for four weeks. Read about the series below…

GC Leaderboards

Zwift’s web-based leaderboards are used to track the monthly GC competition in ZRacing and similar series. Unlike past years, no ZwiftPower registration or use is necessary.

Access the ZRacing leaderboards at zwift.com/racing/zracing >

Your GC ranking is based on your best finishing time for each stage, and you can race each stage more than once to try for a better time.

Category Options

For their monthly series, Zwift typically schedules three different categorization schemes to encourage “Fairer, more competitive racing for everyone.” The different racing score ranges are titled Advanced, Range 1, and Range 2:
