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.

Bugs encountered in this week's TW
POSTMAN PAT
Registered Users 95 Posts
This week was my least enjoyable turf wars due to quite a few glitches that tarnished a pleasurable experience. First one is the phantom challenge (I started a thread in this earlier this week end) which occurred quite a few times during the whole week end ( too many to count). I didn't mind too much when this happened in normal lobbies but when it comes to TW it's a whole other ball game. I hate gifting free points to my adversaries knowingly, but when this happens against my will and there is nothing I can do about it, I get irrate! Hopefully fox is onto it as he said it was on his list. The other very annoying glitch is the following: I race and everything looks fine on screen until we come to the results page. Many times I have had my challenger result in a DNF staring that I have won the race and when it comes to tally up points, I find myself not cashing win bonus, -127 sc points deducted and 0 turf wars points. This defeats all logic to me since I won the race due to my opponent's DNF. This has happened numerous times during the week end with the exception of this morning ( Monday in Australia, Sunday evening in the US) where I didn't lose any sc points and earned some TW points. There are still racers with high power cars that find their way into lower class lobbies ( I believe they get there by joining friends with lower rating cars, judging by race room chats), surely there is something cie can do to stop this occurring by some sort of filter or something ( this topic is old hat I know, but still worth mentioning.) I'd like to finish on a more positive note (so this is not a glitch!) I love the idea of NOT having the player replays on show during TW, this would have evened out the playing field by having lesser racers preying on slower cars only because they saw a replay. This new feature is in keeping with your jingle "you never know what's under the hood" and is something that I would love to see continue. Thx for looking into these issues, here's hoping that next turf will be less fustrating.
