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.

    Haha, like their system could track who originally purchase a paint upgrade on a car that has been traded hundreds of times. They can't even control a developer live event, using their own software and tools.

    Only the orginal purchasers were granted rrc and gems but most didn't even notice they did because they don't own the nismos that are own by users today. Tuff luck they say

    To be honest I'm coming across more issues of disconnects to watching others lose cars rrc. I knew not to trust and bet anything these days but now I'm losing gems to starting a race that never happens.

    Yes and apparently according to the email support sent me gems don't disappear from races than don't actually happen lmfaoooo little do they know! Oh wait they don't know cuz they only use a copy and paste email system to give an answer that seems to fit into your question!

    Yes, we gave the player who bought the paint any currency spent back. This happened a few weeks ago.

    If you happened to win a car with paint on it, you would not get money back because you didn't spend money on paint.

    And again, we do not recognize player sales, you do that on your own accord.

    You gave back the gems to players who didn't own that paint anymore. They either lost it or sell it. If you can put any logic in that you are freeking awesome... Did you want to punish people that buy such cars? Did you want to reward people that do gems works? Did your lawyers told you to do that? What is the legal thing behind this? We can't sue Cie because we didn't spend gems for it?
