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.

Ok, I barrowed this quote directly from another thread, and I would like it explained a little better.
"
That is to say, we see one party sending in their race results and the other, usually the player reporting the issue, timing out or sending their race results too late. That's what we see. That basically means, and I know most people refuse to accept or hear it, that the player's reporting device, for some reason or another, does not send in their race results or sends it way to slow.
But since the race actually takes place, that is why your boost is taken."
The way this sounds to me is the race results are actually calculated before any user input is considered.
does not send in their race results or sends it way to slow.
WHY?!! are there race results being calculated without considering LAUNCH, SHIFT, RATING.
Answer this please, are we even playing the game or just watching the outcome of a pre determined dice roll?
