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.
So I'm curious if anyone knows if players on a team who do not contribute to the ranking of your team in an event also achieve the rewards? Sadly I am on a team where more than half the players are not racing. Past two events only had 7 and 5 players even get points and the last event I had the most points for everyone on the team. Everyone else was at 0. This is really sad when I am limited to time available to play and usually with very poor signals. I may not be near as high on points as I've seen some of the other teams pull in, but at least I'm trying. When I collect the reward at the end of the event for our team standings I am left wondering if those who did nothing are getting the reward also. Seems unfair if they do.

I've been considering going to a new team. However like I said, I simply do not have unlimited hours to put in to it. Last event I got just over 2500 (which was the highest for the whole team) and that's pure race and win points. I don't bet, pink or boost so no additional points there. Mind you I didn't have eligible cars for two of the showdowns. What I missed out on those I made up for in the unlimited showdown running all 7 of my cars till they were needing repairs and then repeating when fixed again. Currently I am just over 1800 (again highest for the team). So I don't see too many high ranking teams wanting me on board.
