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.

Why not offer players rewards for finding bugs? Essentially, this will turn the entire player base into a debugging team which will significantly reduce exploits in the game?
It is no different than in an occupational setting whereas no incentive is given to employees who find ways to save the company money; no employees waste time trying to find money saving ideas... However, once incentives start getting offered, people gain ambition to try to make it a better place.
Think about the big picture... Would a few gems here or there hurt? In the large scale marketplace I think it would be a great idea! Instead, now, nobody really cares to tell the admins / developers anything because it doesn't benefit them any. People move towards what benefits them most...
