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.

Bugs/glitch preventing showroom purchase of 35% off gem car

I already sent a ticket about this but just wanted to post for other players to review... I have been encountering this inconvenience for quite sometime: every so often a gem car (in this case Mclaren GT) goes on sale for 35% off. Typically a window pops up notifying me of this immediately after a race. One or both of two things will and has occurred. First scenario, is that the sale window is situated directly over the window that has the engine damage meter with two buttons : one to repair later and the second button on the right that lets you get an instant repair for a certain amount of gems. Sometimes this amount of gems is over 10. The problem is that when the sale window comes up directly over it, the "go to sale" button is directly over the instant repair button. When you go to click the sale button, it will always hit the window below, which effectively chooses the option to get an instant repair and the result is you lose gems and don't get taken to the sale plus you don't have enough gems to buy the car! The second scenario is if you don't have any engine damage, fortunately the damage meter window doesn't come up and you can hit the go to sale button without worrying of being robbed of gems. Well, it takes you to the showroom but the sale notification window remains which prevents you from purchasing the gem car. Obviously you must for a second time hit the go to sale button to make the window go away, which it does do, but the game then takes you to the event cars section , with a blank stage ( no car on it slowly rotating). Then you exit back to showroom, go to the dealership that has the gem car you want, however it's no longer on sale! I used to be able to get around all this by clicking decline twice, since what that really does is first click the " repair later" button on the damage meter window, then it clicks " decline" for reals on the sale window, then I'd go to showroom and go to the dealer that would have the car and it would still be on sale. However now when you click decline or do anything that takes you anywhere except directly to the showroom dealer, the sale magically disappears.. Please fix this. I'm hoping the whole ordeal where the overlapping windows and buttons wasn't intentionally designed that way, as clever as it is, it's very upsetting to not only be short on gems but also miss out on and have to wait again for the sale window notification thingy. Thank you.

    Thank you for the well detailed report. I will make sure the testing team gets it and the situation is reviewed. Since it affects what comes up on the device (what we call front end) it will end up having to wait for the next release version at best but we will see what we can do.
