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.

Quick help with RX-8 launch and shift points?

brycevegasbrycevegas Registered Users 15 Posts
I have my RX-8 maxed at 1648. I cannot get it below 9.9 even with boost. I am hoping for advice as to where to shift and where to drop revs. I wasn't able to find any videos online of perfect runs.

    I would be happy with 9.6 run. I have tried late shift with no great improvement. Launch is my biggest struggle.

    Let off just before midway of first yellow to launch. Shift every gear late. Each consecutive gear winds out farther than the one before it so you'll have to practice to get used to the timing. Let each gear go as far in the red as they will go without hitting the rev limiter. If you're able to nail the launch you should be getting 9.5's with the right set up.

    I think I am having glitches with my ratings. With no body kits I am at 1651. With body kits I am at 1650. My best time has now been 9.885 without boost.
