An error occurred while saving the comment I like the suggestion but it is important that if implemented, it is unranked only.

Many thanks for the suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
Whilst it's unlikely that we'll do exactly this as there are a number of drawbacks from anchoring, the general point you make about ensuring that the rankings are a useful way of categorising humans against each other (as opposed to it being more of a reflection of humans against bots) is a good one and we'll take a look at how best to do that.

An error occurred while saving the comment I've refined this request to make it simpler to implement and to cover some wider use cases:
The power is almost completely in the ability to have a pacer follow a workout file. Fit files from previous activities can be converted to workout files using https://sport-calculator.com/converters/fit-to-zwo to further expand the possibilities.
Please excuse the extremely crude mockups.
Event creation > Group ride > add pacer bot > configure pacer
Configuration options: Select workout, pacer FTP, pacer weight, Draft enabled>yes/no
Use Cases
Blind workout - do your scheduled workout without prompts by sticking with the pacer bot for full immersion (Draft off, match your FTP/weight, add a few bots)
Hill efforts - go ******* the hills and recover on the flats (workout file with constant effort, set very low bot weight with similar FTP to you)
Moto pacer - a couple of bots and a steady effort workout file
Progression - workout file that steadily ramps up power. Stay with the pacer as long as possible
Draft practice - High power heavy pacer with around 20 bots on a flat course. Position well to not get dropped
Sprint lead out practice. Pick a workout file that matches the course selection to ramp up power before the finish line (a few bots)
TT / hillclimb ghost - use your last effort as the workout file and try to beat it
Race simulation - use a fit file from a previous race and try to beat yourself
Course workouts - community created workouts that match a particular route parcours - e.g. hard hill climb followed by a sprint finish
Fartleks - load up a workout with some random efforts and stick with the pacer
Beatbiker music workouts - pacer will match efforts to a particular album or playlist!

An error occurred while saving the comment Not just for time trials, but for all events. This could be managed with a small power ramp in the physics at launch to keep things realistic.

An error occurred while saving the comment Any workout that you drop in to your TrainingPeaks or intervals.icu calendar will appear in TPV. You can also add workouts to your workout folder. There are zip files online containing hundreds of workouts that you can add to TPV.
An error occurred while saving the comment Any workouts in TrainingPeaks or intervals.icu are automatically synced to TPV, both of these platforms have huge workout libraries and plans.
+1 for this, but for me specifically or would be to make use of Suunto's ZoneSense algorithm which does a far better job than power or HR at showing your real physiological zone considering things like fatigue.
