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.

gas pedal and launch button dont work

now when going into a race the gas pedal and launch button just straight up doesnt work. the shifters work as if to mock you as you watch the other person youre racing against drive away. ugh. hard to win turf points when you cant launch.

    I haven't experienced this but it feels like all the on screen buttons are kinda wonky to me. There's so many times I'll hit the launch button and my car just sits there until I tap it again. I'm not sure if I'm just slightly missing the button the first time or what, but needless to say it's quite annoying and I'd be furious if that happened in a race that was worth anything significant.
    The same thing happens with shifting also, where I'll try to shift and my car just bounces off the rev limiter until I tap the paddle a 2nd time.

    But that's odd you can't drive at all. Tried restarting phone? Reinstall game?

    it has happened just a couple more times since, and ive been trying to figure out what the conditions were to give an accurate bug report but so far just seems like a a random fluke.

    I've had a couple of launching issues, but have always faulted as user error. Only thing that bugs me sometimes is when I shift up, I swear my finger placement is where it should be.. but I still mis-shift. Maybe make the hit box for the gear levers a bit bigger? :P
