LB, I don't know all the ins and outs BUT;
You can download an add one to enable you to choose any course.
You can also download add on to give you a mario kart style map so you can see where you are on the course
You can choose to ride and race or group ride. Once you start up app/program you choose ride then, 10 min before start you join the group at the pier riding virtual turbos until time to ride starts and you all set off. Each of you will have same kit - at least on rides I have done- so easy to spot each other on the ride. Or you can add name of group or ride to your name. All the riders listed down right hand side will be ones in your race ride and you can see time in front or behind and w/k they are putting out.
I don't know answer to your q except but lots of races are live streamed and commentated and links are normally on say zsun fb page or Zwift riders page.
Changes due in few weeks mean closed races- gr8 for cyclechat!- and spectating and you can choose to have non racers invisible.
Discord is used to. People chatting and singing(!) and telling jokes while doing group ride today. Imagine the pi**taking we could do.
Zwiftblog has lots of info.Titanium Geek has an excellent resource for basics and more of Zwift

sounds like we could eventually get our heads round that !!
where do you download the map thing from that sticks to front of bike ?
Much as I'd rather do WC stage 11 (as its nice and flat), it's still not live. So unfortunately it's CG1 re-run, which is probably a good thing as not many completed it on Thursday. Sorry all, it's an absolute bu99er and I will try to choose better rides in future.
To find the ride in the Sim: search, routes, filter, Bill /or route name.
You may join me ... but i fear we'll only be together on the start line
I'm a tail end charlie so i'll be way back by the time you guys put the power down

What is the route name? And do you start warmup at 5 or at 4.50, or none at all?

The route name is Bunyola and the warmup starts at 5pm race starts at 5:10
I've added all available ghosts. Sorry Jim, no sign of yours anywhere even though you completed the ride on Thursday.
Just search for "Bill", then you're sure to get the right one.
I'm out tonight, by the way.

Ok, see you then. I'll call the Ghostbusters to get rid of all those ghosts!
Noooo, i was hoping to use Jim's ghost as a pacer
Looks like I'll have to ride my own race 
Thank you Sir Bill.. a bu99er it is... best of luck to all who set out this afternoon. I'll pop in to cheer you on..

Wow, 79.7 km/h to 7.5 km/h in a split second! Must have disk brakes fitted...
Actually 7.5 km/h is more realistic (for me at least) on a 12.5% incline than the 79.7 km/h. It seems to allow the momentum for about 4 seconds and 100 meters, then suddenly it compensates by removing it completely!
A clearly broken algorithm, which should have been backed out as soon as it was shown to be so broken!
I bet Zwift avoid any such savage transitions, from -3.6% to +12.5% instantaneously, on their carefully crafted courses.
