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.

More fair with selling our cars back and so on...

This is a really important one I think.
You should develop an algorithm where when we sell cars that we have upgraded, the sale price corresponds with the amount of upgrades
we put into it. For instance, a stock 787b can be sold back to the game for 700k. Well, why does a maxed 787b sell for the same price?
You are the epitome of used car sharks.
However, if you lose a car in pinks, the gem price to buy it back is higher if it's upgraded. So what's up with the double standard here? That's verging on a scam there, and I honestly think it's an oversight in the game.
If you are increasing the price for replacements based on upgrades, then you should also increase the price for us to sell the car back if we choose. It's only fair, and honest. I'm frankly surprised this hasn't been done.
Also, crate wheels. Why do they vanish if use them on a car and then change the wheels again. Are they magical wheels?
There should be some kind of storage facility in our game where the crate wheels go to if we end up changing out wheels (maybe just the inventory like usual, and we would still have to pay gems to increase the capacity). They are wheels like any other wheels, they shouldn't just disappear.
These 2 elements of the game are somewhat scammy in my opinion and you need to address them.
