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.

Tuning with Nitrous vs. without

Hey, I just had a quick question and was wondering if someone could give me an answer.

So in general is it better to tune the car without using nitrous and just use engine upgrades?

For example, if I have an S class car that im tuning for 1656, would it be better to avoid the nitrous and just upgrade with a conversion/engine upgrades?

    I would suggest avoiding nitrous, but not weight reduction. Nitrous usually results in a slower ET in lower lobbies (2 or 3 lobbies below the car's max tune) than adding a turbo or supercharger. I've tuned over 200 cars and have made over 300 tunes, played on a top 25 team for most of my career here, and this is the pattern I've come to accept (and so do all of the top tuners I know). So in your example, I can confidently say that using a turbo or SC instead of NOS on an S class car for a 56 lobby is a better choice if you want a faster ET.
