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.

Wow, i honestly didn't think i would come start another big discussion like this. But now we really have to start thinking, what does Carbonated Games Inc taking over Rivals mean for the future? What will they do with the game? Will they shut it down? I personally think we all deserve answers to these questions if @Ryyst and @DownShift would like to come answer them. Because now if you go on FB, you will without a doubt notice that many groups are on a worse rampage than when 6.0 released. So can i please get some answers, thoughts, and comments below
And Ryyst, we all for the most part will dearly miss you without a doubt, the forums wont be the same. we all wish you the best and hope you go on to do other great things

However, if they started from scratch, that would suck

For the immediate future nothing changes. The guys from Carbonated are learning the game inside and out and we have a transition team in place.
Yes indeed do hold on for a little bit, the Carbonated folks are good guys which means they are going to not rush into things here.
