Add virtual cycling as a specific category of race calendar When adding Zwift indoor races courses as gpx files → ability to build a specific indoor race strategy from that race course gpx
Virtual racing is its own race category now. You can find and add virtual races as their own type, and an indoor race with a route attached gets a race plan without real-world wind. On Pro, the pace plan for a virtual race accounts for drafting and surges. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks Vdude. I answered most of this under your comment on the route post, so in short: switch on Settings → Beta → Full-page activities and sessions, create the race with Indoor on, and attach the Zwift course GPX. You get the profile, climbs, pacing per segment and fuelling, and since last week no real-world wind on an indoor course.
What this post asks for beyond that is still open: "Virtual" as its own race category, and a race strategy built for how a pack race goes (drafting, surges) rather than a steady solo effort. I'm leaving this post open for exactly that.
