Yes, once you get used to the draft you can stay in the pack with very little concentration.
The best way to practice is to ride with groups where you are in Z2 (the blue zone) about 65% of your FTP.

We’ll have to disagree here gerrie 
I got bored of not seeing my avatar moving around and drinking while using the Tron and swapped back to a normal bike and have been riding that for a while. Maybe I’m an oddity in that?!

there is no good reason to not use the tron bike 
(except if ur doing a pure hill climb)
I’ll be getting the Tron on my next ride, will probably set it as my main default for everything except the Alpe or Mt. Ventoux runs.
Personal best ghost would not work the way most people imagine it unless it was a personal best ghost while you were on a TT bike.
Whenever you’re on any other bike, your time on a route is affected by the affect of drafting from all the riders around you.
The personal best bot would also have to stick to a route.

Fixed route on a TT bike - I’d be happy with that. I’d even be happy with separate routes just for Ghost Ride. No drafting on these routes, whatever bike you are on, and they are circuits with no turn offs. Purely just routes for an oppurtunity to play against yourself. Something different to try once a week or even once a month to measure improvement.
There is a route on Watopia where I already do this. 30KM - I get very little drafting as I’m never with anyone long enough, and it is a decent test.
But last week I finished within 2 seconds of my previous best. 2sec over 30KM - at least I’m consistent. I even took a different approach, attacking the sprints and KOM setting PB’s - but it all evened out to a 2 second difference.
A Ghost Rider would have shown me exactly where I was in the last KM and I could have pushed that little bit more.
