Over the course of the last five years, Racing Rivals has grown into one of the most hardcore racing games in the world. This loyal community has spent countless hours competing in millions of races in “winner take all” fashion – all in the name of Turf Wars and pink slips.
However, all good things must come to an end… After spending time evaluating Rivals and its future – we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Simply put, the revenue generated from Racing Rivals unfortunately no longer covers the cost of operations. This was not an easy decision to make.
On March 31st, 2019 – Rivals will be racing off into the sunset, and will be permanently shut down. Current players have until this date to utilize any accumulated virtual currency. We’ll be offering some massive reductions in the cost of crates, installs and repairs in addition to a reduction on timers as you race your way into the history books. Effective immediately, no new in-app purchases will be permitted.
In closing, a resounding and sincere THANK YOU to our extremely driven fans for your loyalty and dedication over the years – we hope you’ve enjoyed playing Racing Rivals as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

Turf Slaves!

Lol, shout out to the Turf Slaves getting it in this turf war, making that top 25! Y’all are just awesome! You’re probably wondering why I’m using the term Turf Slaves. Let me tell you, this turf war thing is just a little crazy. There are people out here who crush cars that are worth (if you buy from CIE,) in excess of $50! And they crush more than one of them too!
I used to be one of those guys, “Look at me! Look how badass I am, I just crushed that ZR1 for some turf points, mwahahah!”
But...look at the market, people. And the thing is the market has ALWAYS been like this. In today’s market, with money as tight as it is, you can buy just about ANY turf car (wrapped or not,) for 5mil or less! So you’re out here crushing NISMOs and ZR1s. NISMO’s themselves are worth at least 3-4m. Why are you spending $50 per turf on gems, and crushing these very valuable cars, when you can win 5-8 1 mil/pinks races, and just buy the car outright from somebody.
I can buy any turf car I want, wrapped or not, and I won’t have to put in nearly as much $$$ as top 25 teams. I just need to win those 5-8 races.
So when you put things in perspective, is it worth it? Is it worth putting in $50 a week? Is it worth crushing NISMOs, Ramis, and Furais, Skyline, ZR1, etc.? Is it worth taking the risk of dealing with a cutthroat top turf team, when you can just win 5-8 races and get the same results?

Marauder pleasure racing with you too, man. I agree top 100 team is the way to go. I can survive off of usually spending less than 200 gems per turf and get top 200.
One of the Reborn Legends guys said they wanted to crush a wrapped.car. Ridiculous.
