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.

JUST A FEW QUESTIONS FOR ADMINS/DEVS...

Registered Users, Users Awaiting Email Confirmation 163 Posts
1. IS ANYTHING BEING DONE ABOUT SWAPPING POINTS IN TURFS SINCE ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE NOW? I DID READ AN OLDER STATEMENT ON FB FORUMS ABOUT IDEAS BUT NOTHING IS CONCRETE AS OF YET.
2. ARE THE TEST TRACKS STILL BEING IMPLIMENTED INTO THE TEAM PLAY SO WE CAN RUN AGAINST EACH OTHER AND TEST TUNES?
3. WHY ARE THE NEW TURF EVENTS SO RIGID? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TURBO, SUPER CHARGED, 4WD, A CLASS BATTLES? SEEMS YOU ONLY MADE GEM EATING TURF EVENTS THAT ENCOURAGE SWAPPING POINTS INSTEAD OF A FEW FUN RACING DAYS...
4. WHY AM I RACING THE SAME PEOPLE OVER AND OVER FOR MONTHS AT A TIME DURING TURFS WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE PLAYING THE GAME ACROSS THE GLOBE? MAKES NO SENSE FOR US ALL TO BE STUCK ON THE SAME SERVERS ALL THE TIME. RARELY DO I SEE A NEW PERSON. PLEASE EXPLAIN....IS IT THE STREET CRED? NUMBER OF RACES WON? THE AVERAGE OF RACES WON? DRIVES ME NUTS.
5. WHY DO WE HAVE TO PURCHASE PAINTS THAT WE ALREADY BOUGHT IF WE SWITCH CAR COLORS? SHOULD BE DONE IN THE SAME FASHION AS THE WHEEL PURCHASE IN MY OPINION. ONCE YOU BUY YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SWITCH IF YOU OWN IT WITH OUT HAVING TO PAY AGAIN.
6. WHY ISNT THERE ALREADY AN UN-INSTALL OPTION FOR TURBO, SUPER CHARGER OR WEIGHT REDUCTIONS? SHOULD BE AN OPTION TO MAKE STOCK AGAIN. WHATS THE DEAL WITH THIS OPTION NOT BEING AVAILABLE SINCE MANY RACERS HAVE ALREADY INQUIRED ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST AS WELL AS THE PRESENT?
7. WHY ISNT THER AN "ALL STAGE 2 PURCHASE OPTION" FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO MAX A CAR MORE EASILY AND LET THE STAGE 3 PARTS GET INSTALLED MANUALLY? WITH THAT SAID A DISCOUNTED PACKAGE FOR PURCHASING ALL STAGE 2 PARTS WOULD ALSO MAKE SENSE.
8. CAN WE CUT THE BS ON REPAIR & INSTALL TIMES? MULTIPLE HOURS AND DAYS IS JUST NOT REASONABLE FOR A "RACING GAME" TO HAVE ON REPAIRING CARS. IT'S NOT LIKE WE CRASH THE CARS DURING RACES. WE'D BE ABLE TO PLAY MORE DURING EVENTS IF THIS WEREN'T SUCH AN ISSUE. YOUR AIMING THIS TOWARDS THE HARD-CORE PLAYERS WHO WILL SPEND MORE $$$ ON GEMS TO KEEP THE COMPETITIVE EDGE GOING. WHAT ABOUT THE NEW PLAYERS YOU CLAIM TO PROTECT WHO ARE ON NEW TEAMS THAT ARE LEARNING TO PLAY AND ARENT GETTING FULL ENJOYMENT OUT OF A, R, R2, AND X CLASS EVENTS DUE TO HAVING 1 OR NO CARS FOR THOSE EVENTS? ON A WHOLE I THINK THE GAME SHOULD BE BALANCED FOR ALL TO ENJOY AND LEARN INSTEAD OF BEING DISCOURAGED TO PLAY.
9. WHY NOT REMOVE THE DAMAGE FROM THE RACER WHO DOESNT FOUL DURING A RACE? WHY PENALIZE BOTH? MAKES NO SENSE TO THE ONE WHO DOESNT FOUL. JUST SAYING.
10. WHY ISNT THE FORUMS MORE RELEVANT WITH INFO FROM DEVS GIVING POINTERS AND OR TIPS SUCH AS: EXPLAIN THE GRAPHS WHEN ADDING PARTS, EXPLORING SHIFT POINTS FOR OPTIMAL RUNS. THAT KIND OF STUFF SO THE NEW GUYS CAN HAVE A SHOT AT BUILDING SUCCESSFULLY. EXPLAIN LOBBY RATINGS SO THAT THEY DONT MAX OUT CARS THINKING ABOUT "SPEED" ONLY TO RUN INTO THE WRONG GUY IN THE NEXT RATING SO TO SPEAK. ALL IM SAYING IS THINK MORE ABOUT THE USER/S AND HOW THEY CAN GET IN TUNE WITH THE GAME. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE MANY UPGRADES AND FACE LIFTS THE GAME HAS HAD AND HONESTLY HAVE TO SAY IF I WERE DOWNLOADING THIS TODAY, ID PROBABLY RUN THE OTHER WAY WITH ALL THE OVERWHELMING FEATURES THAT ARE PACKED INTO THE GAME WITH NO INFORMATION LEADING THE USER/S IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SO MUCH IS JUST EXPECTED FOR THE GAMER TO FIND OUT THE HARDWAY. ITS LIKE YOU EXPECT THE AVERAGE PERSON TO PICK UP THE GAME AND KNOW ALL THESE THINGS.

I REALLY WISH THEY (GLU) WOULD BUILD AN ACCNT, FINISH CAMPAIGN WITH MINIMAL RR FUNDS LIKE A NORMAL PERSON WOULD, PLAY FOR MONTHS AND BUILD UP A GARAGE THE HARD WAY, TRY TO BUILD A SUCCESSFUL TURF TEAM, BUY GEMS, COMPETE EVERY WEEK IN TURFS, AND DEAL WITH THE SCUM THAT PREY ON THE AVERAGE JOE IN THE GAME VIA HACKS, SCAMS & DISHONESTY. THEN ID LIKE TO SEE WHAT THEY THINK OF THE GAME. IT'D BE INTERESTING TO SEE FOR SURE.
IN ADDITION IT'D BE NICE TO SEE GIVEAWAYS EVERY NOW AND THEN. NOT THE 20 GEM CRAP THEY PULLED A WHILE AGO. THAT I CAN DO W/O. IM SAYING A "THANK YOU CAR" FOR ACCNTS THAT HAVE BEEN RUNNING AND ACTIVE OVER A 6 MONTH PERIOD LETS SAY. JUST A THOUGHT...I MISS CIE. AT LEAST THEY TOOK ACCOUNT FOR THE MISTAKES THAT OCCURED ON THIER WATCH AND TRIED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.
Some great points raised there bro. Especially the practise track idea.
