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.

    I'm buggin out on the 24 hour integra sale just to pull this crap...why do I picture CIE watching to see if $$ gets generated online with people scrambling to buy an 1800 gem car??? With all the continuing issues, this was the best plan they could come up with??? WOW!

    Nothing changes. They get ideas and execute. There's no thinking of the loyal long term players.

    This round definitely seems a little biased to the elite or ones that spend the most money.

    Reborn Legends already has 26,000+ points. lol And as you said, the problem is that it doesn't give the rest of us a chance. My team has been just outside the top 100 two weeks in a row and now we will be way behind having to try to catch up the last 3 days. *smh*

    All the data sniffers got it all wrong, all the RMT's made a ton of money on people that have itunes and paypal. People spend so much money on itunes cars and bought up everyones cars and now people are mad. The sale car is just not a main event car, just a event.

    People are complaining all over the internet, I am quiting, I am not spending money, BUT I see them asking for cars to buy and SPENDING millions on a car not even 10 minutes later. CIE is not seeing the money, other players in the game are. Someone sold a nismo for 18 million, not even 10 minutes age, yesturday was a 2-3 mil car.

    I see this as my time to get off this game as it gets more and more pathetic. I have a nismo but the lobbies are empty. You really look like a money hungry group cie. You were a good game gone tragically bad. Hope another game comes along and steals all your loyal racers. SMH

    It's kinda a way for cie to rake in cash, wouldn't you say. I still haven't seen any of those promised updates for turf or the iOS.

    I think it's great that there's a Nismo event! What I think that sucks is trying to build up point racing the same 3 people in the lobby... over and over and over....

    *sigh* This was one of my biggest reasons for dropping out of turf for a whole month, now I come back to this? Extremely elitist Cie, this was a mistake, no chance of me racking up decent points this time...

    My team was fortunate enough to have 2 people with Nismos, we all pitched in on the 38 gem repairs and kept the players going, that's how a team works

    Yup. I borrowed one and raced a few rounds to take away the pain of my teammate's wallet.
