Catch Driver is a harness racing game where players can race live against other players from all over the world by using
their touchscreen mobile phone or device.
Catch Driver is now live in its new 3D version, which means players will be able to get closer to the action than ever be-
fore, and it’s all at your fingertips on your smart phone.
Following the recent trials at Addington Raceway, Catch Driver will be holding the world’s first E-Sport Harness Racing
Championship this Friday oncourse with three heats and final to be held between races.
Run in conjunction with Addington Raceway and Harness Racing New Zealand, the Catch Driver team have finalized a live
coverage of the game which will broadcast this Friday’s heats and finals.
Contenders play in special and exclusive Addington ‘game events’ via their phone, while the race is broadcast live on the
Big Screen on the infield, and also on selected television screens around the track.
Three heats of nine players will be held this Friday, with the first three in each heat home through to the final to be held
later in the evening.
