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.
Hopefully this is the correct place to post this and maybe a Mod can respond.
I just want to recommend something that I would like to see added into RR. I would like to see something like a practice/testing drag strip added into the game. It would be a place for you to run your car after you have added parts to it or to test out different tunes without having to race other players and losing any street credit and perhaps even engine damage while you do your test runs. A test drag strip feature would be a very good tool to learn a new car you get as well as a good place to practice for new players to get the hang of the game. Maybe you can just be racing a ghost of your current car controlled by AI so it has a feel of a regular race. Of course you don't win any cash or anything since it is just a test track. As far as I know the only way to do this testing currently is vs other players in the race lobbies or in the campaign which me and I am sure many other have beat many times so then it comes down to just the lobbies to test your car setup. I hope I am not the only one who has thought of this and would think it might be a good and helpful idea and I apologize if this has been brought up before. One more thing I am sure has been brought up before is a test drive feature in the showroom so I just thought I would throw that in as well. I am not a very good racer so any of these ideas that can be added into the game would definitely help me and many others I am sure. Any constructive responses or criticism is welcome. Sorry for the long post and thank you for reading this and see you in RR.
