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.

The Dyno chart is unusable. The old chart used to have 1000 rpm increments as it should. The new chart may be 2000 rpm increments not sure. But if so how in the world do you split 2000 rpm into 5 400 rpm increments for an accurate representation on how to shift and launch the car. This needs to go back to the old chart. The original fundementals of the game need to be preserved.
Secondly why did you change the order of the parts? How are we supposed to use all of our old tunes written down in s1,p1,s1 ect format? Convert them? Wow!
And multiple datsuns from crates is reduculous!
Very disappointed that new cars aren't really in the game, their in crates. One question, are the contents of any user's crate completely random? I really don't like having to subject my account to hacking exploits to take advantage of gifted boosts.
Overall, I'm a little disappointed because I thought the new cars would be in the showroom for everyone to access but impressed by the implementation of the update. Thanks most for the communication during the process.
Also, I think it would be nice to have a practice mode that doesnt wear on your engine, just your car and the strip. But I understand this would be something to be added to a later update and not specific to the 3.0 update.

There's another issue in the showroom and garage, team mates are telling me when they have enough money they are trying to buy cars and its saying they don't have enough. And prior to the update all my cars I can switch back a forth from turbo to supercharger, both I've bought and upgraded to pro but when I try to put a supercharger back on my car its saying I don't have enough money!? How am I suppose to race supercharger races in 2 days when I can't put it on my cars?
1.As was said, players are unable to buy cars in showroom. Insufficient funds when the money or gems are there.
2. Some cars ratings changed. Which causes a whole retune. You didnt change room ranks too did you?
3. One of my players (clownenonu) lost his account? So I try to remove him from team but when you click on him it gives the loading screen and never loads. Because his account is lost. So now I am stuck with a 19 man team.
4. The friends list is busted. Mostly says "New Player" with no picture. These are original friends but no way to identify other than to message them. Also gives wrong level and wrong current teams. I cant communicate or navigate with anyone for managing turf or scouting/recruiting.
I personally dont like the update. Its too much. Might as well get on the Playstation now. And now able to get these cool special cars a lot easier makes turf a little less interesting. I feel this game needs to be put back under maintenance. Id wrather not play waiting impatiently. Not trying to play and getting frustrated. Please do something about this. Its not just me its a lot of people. What I really want right now is to have my players account restored (clownenonu) or removed from my team. Thanks.
I like the crates thing it's a big money maker for Glu however for players after buying 3 I won't be buying more. It's simply not worth it. I know a person who dished out $250 or 15,000 gems to get a few R class cars lol but now he doesn't have the money to upgrade them so what's the point. Either way nice to see an upgrade but not amazing. I give it a B-
Gracias
2. cars classes (R1,R2,R3, X) makes our cars rating change, sometimes 1670, the other time 1671
3. glitch on trading, u know like we have 90K cash to buy 78K subie, but somehow got notice " you have insufficient money" ( it also occurs in gem )
we hope as players, this biggest update n innovation doesnt give any of bad experience as the last time.
Is anyone looking into these threads?
This game is about racing and tuning, where did the fundamentals of the game go? It's about making money now.
Dyno graph junk, parts order junk, parts not installing, can't check overall mechanic boost any more, repairs not completing, lobby shifts, what is there to like about the update?
Buy four gold crates and get four different blueprints and 40 boosts total?
