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.

Evening the turf playing field...

God am I gonna get so much hate for this... But I think that gem boosting should be disabled in turf and to counter any exploitations pre gem boosted cars should be banned until the boosting is all used up, the last couple of turf events I've been struggling to win any races, and I suspect gem boosting is the reason, some races I can scrape a victory but 90% of the time, I lose by 0.3 - 0.7 seconds, which unless I conform and gem boost (which I can't do cos I don't do in app purchases) I won't win and won't make points. Which is a real killjoy and I doubt I'm really alone in this, if any admins or forum moderators see this, please give this some serious thought, because this could be the solution to turf problems.

    I like this idea. ONly I think pre boosted cars should just have the boost disabled so they cant use it but can still run the car! Me personally I dont boost period. In or out of turf. I have my cars tuned so well though that here and there I'll beat a car boosting though so I know that if boost was disabled I would make a killing! lmao just saying.

    A lot of people buy gems purely to buy boost , if boost was taken away hardly anyone would buy gems anymore meaning no money would go back into the game for new content
