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.

It needs to be changed so that when someone quits a team the points they earned will be deducted from the team. You have teams using way more than the 20 player limit. Players will sign out when they go to bed and another player will sign on and keep making points.

Wow! I would have NEVER thought of doing that!!
People certainly are keen to win TW aren't they?
So if Fred is racing for team B and put up 5k points and the team is on 50k points, but he gets replaced for Tom who then puts up 15k points but Tom is replaced for Fred as Fred is the brother of the leader 1 hour before the end of the turf, then all of toms points shouldn't count for that team, his 15k points should be replaced by Fred's 5k points.
This will stop a lot of teams using sleeping cells in order to boost their team, I know a few teams that do one of them following.
A) When someone goes to work or sleep, they are replaced but someone else who is able to race, and so on, like a rotation system. so they have like 20 people in the states and 20 in England so when one group is sleeping the other group is racing all under the same team name.
I would love to see how many points people get if a teams points at the end of the turf are only made up by those who are in the team and the points they earned for that team, it would stop so many problems, people randomly being kicked for a ffriend to get the car, and teams swapping players in and out.
