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.

Questions about drivetrains from a noob...

CheebzCheebz Registered Users 38 Posts
I've noticed that a lot of the top tunes use either stock transmissions, or stage 1, rarely ever Pro... doesn't the weight removal and faster shift times mean anything in the game? At least as far as tranny's go? Also, stock axles and stage 2 cam gear across all cars??

    I have yet to see a top tune that has stock trans unless it is a turf tune

    Yeah, jjbinx808 is right. All of the maxed tunes have pro transmission. A lot of people will detune the transmission to stage 2 to get into a lower lobby for turf but that's about the only reason I can think of to not fully upgrade the transmission.

    I think he's referring to top turf tunes. If he was talking about max then of course - weight and - shift time would matter... think he's asking: "Is the increased rating from upgrading transmission worth the decreased shift times and weight that they give?" To which I would guess yes.
