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.

Ford GT-R Shifting For Faster Times

WarHead24k4WarHead24k4 Registered Users 2 Posts
While racing, i realized that the Ford GT's redline starts at 6,500RPM, aka the perfect shift point. I have been shifting as early as i can without even thinking about it, but i realized that you get a better benefit when you shift at 6,800RPM. The Ford GT-R has a rapid acceleration from 6,000-6,800ish RPM and thats the point where you want to keep it at. But be sure to be careful. If you go over the 6,800-6900RPM, you will end up reaching your max redline and it will slow you down. Try it out, get familiar with it, and expect a .100-.250 faster time.

    Thanks for the great information. I haven't gotten a chance to really build this car up and calculate the tune but it's one of my favorite cars and it helps that it can go 6.9
