How the Catcher Car works:
Thirty minutes after the race has begun, the Catcher Car sets off from the startline. Slowly, it gains ground on the competitors, increasing its speed incrementally as the run goes on. The pace of the moving finish line increases more significantly in the later stages of the race, seeing the last participants caught at around 65 to 70km (40 to 44 miles). The race is over when all of the runners have been caught.
