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.

Turf War Alternative Suggestion

Hello [RR] Admin,
Just a suggestion not a rant before you think this thread is about complaints!! Lol. SO! What I thought would be a cool idea of a new competitive tournament besides the Turf War competition, would be a individual elimination tournament. Now, I know what instantly comes into thought, the revenue won't be high, but what if there was a entry fee? Charge the wanting competitors a fixed price of gems to enter the organized elimination tournament. This is a way to test the true skill of every single racer on the game. Turf War is a team effort, but doesn't show too much skill IMO, its more of "who can put up the most points". So I figured, why not a single shining player take the podium. Have a set class, or manufacturer, or car and start from there. This would even be a great way to possibly find those using a 3rd party program hacking their wins by default, since it would be monitored. We could even have a qualification race to see who we line up against in the first round. If the servers can handle the mass production of Turf Wars, then it could handle this. Just a thought RR, I like change and Turf War has set the bar high for teams, but maybe a individual effort can bring upon the bragging rights.
