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.

upgading vs launching question

does anyone know if the launch sweetspot is static? does it change when i change transmissions? i am not noticing much difference if any on my cars has anyone else noticed at all? at the moment i am compiling a list of drop launch release timing cues for my cars and i am wondering if everyone's drop launch is the same or if the many possibilities of tune have any effect on it

    It changes as you upgrade. Not so much one part at a time but try the same car stock and maxed and you will see the difference.

    Biggest difference is upgrading the Transmission and Clutch. You'll notice it jump a lot quicker which means you'll need to do a couple runs to get used to it.
