“Launching the new Honda EvoTrack mobile game brings entertainment and friendly competition to our customers and gamers of all levels as we introduce them to our all-new, even more fun-to-drive Civic lineup in an accessible, social way,” said Phil Hruska, Media Department Head, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Honda has a long history of integrating vehicles into many types of games, and we want to continue that momentum, especially for passionate fans of the Honda Civic.”
How to Play Honda EvoTrack
The Honda EvoTrack game is designed for players to get through as many laps as possible without colliding into obstacles or missing turns. The further you get, the more you score. On the track, several boosts are available and players can collect coins to unlock their next vehicle and gain access to more colors or Red Bull Racing Honda themed liveries.
There are three courses to choose from, which include a Red Bull Racing themed facility – “Circuit,” a Route 66 style rugged site – “Desert Trail,” and a futuristic “Neo City,” where modernity meets tradition.
Heating up the virtual game competition, Honda is holding a four-week contest from the launch of the campaign. Players posting the top three scores of the week will win a digital voucher to purchase Honda or Red Bull Racing official licensed merchandise. The leaderboard will reset each week, giving new challengers the chance to compete for the prizes.
Honda EvoTrack was developed by digital fan engagement agency, Wave, and in partnership with Red Bull Racing Honda.
