How to ... Zwift racing and club rides
Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2020 4:13 pm
I thought it might be an idea to post a general guide to Zwift so all information is in one place.
KIT
There is a kit that is pretty close to the Nova Kit. It makes it easier to identify each other.
To get it
Press P whilst Zwifting and enter MGCCKit
On Apple
Go to my.zwift.com and log in to your profile.
Click on “Edit Profile”
Select “Billing” on the top middle.
Select “Promotions” on the left.
Type in the promo code then click “Redeem”
Check your game to see your kit!
NAME
It's a good idea to put (Nova) after your surname. i.e. Duncan Mullier (Nova)
Again this makes it easier to spot in game.
CHAT
For both races and club rides you will get a much better experience if you join the chat on Discord. You can download the app on your phone and then connect via Discord https://discord.gg/6J2BP22RMf
CHAT HARDWARE
I bought a cheap headset from ebay, it works just fine. Both Headset and Splitter for under a tenner!

It has a separate microphone and headphone connector (for some laptops) so you will need an adapter to use with your phone.

ZWIFT POWER
For racing you need to be registered with Zwift Power, you just do, so do it.
It gives the official results with all the cheaters removed.

ZWIFT COMPANION
This is an app that runs on your phone and can be used to control the game. You can run it and Discord at the same time and Zwift itself on a computer or tablet.
ENTERING EVENTS
Enter races via the Zwift Companion app.
