Innsbruckring is my favorite course on zwift. During the recent TTT, a teammate of mine (@Stuart_Moore_DIRT_44) brought up an excellent idea…
We’d like to see a very short cut through added to the Innsbruck map, connecting the 90 degree bend after the lap banner with the road on the other side of the loop, just before the bridge and leg snapper. This very small addition would immediately allow for some great new courses on this map:
A vicious Crit course which would include the snapper on repeat!
A terrific figure 8 course on these roads
This would really help breathe some new life into this great map!
Support this totally, both bits, the link and this vicious steep climb.
Definitely need the bit going up to Hungerberg and Hötting - I’ve done that IRL. Great little hill that hurts.
There are other routes that could be included after this one too. For instance what we did for stage 1 of Haute Route Dolomites 2017 which was a Innsbruck-Innsbruck loop finishing opposite Ramada Tivoli (the tilted hotel).
I find it mind-boggling that Zwift, which put in a major expansion to the London world years ago, despite enormously greater resources today is unable to implement even modest enhancements to its existing worlds. I’ve largely moved onto other platforms.
Innsbruck and Bologna each have obvious enhancements which could be done. Then the Japan world was announced as a new platform, which could become even bigger than Watopia, yet still nothing, except superficial route badges on the same compact map. There was a modest enhancement of Watopia in late 2020.
