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.
New launch method possibly worth trying...???
I'll explain new method, then give reasoning.
New method would consist of hitting the accelerator at a certain point during light sequence then releasing at another point in light sequence. May sound complicated but we already practice all the time for the other ways, so I feel like this wouldn't be hard to pick up on.
Now for the reasoning behind this. When you're holding down accelerator pre light sequence, the needle wavers at red line. If it were stationary, it would allow for a more exact launch every time, but because it wavers ever so slightly, it can cause the slightest imperfection, and flirting with that thin line is the difference between best time or a whole second slower due to spin out. Accelerating up and dropping down once perfected would be a more precise way as the up is a steady constant and the drop is a steady constant. It's just a matter of tuning your thumb with your eyes and ears.
Just a new method which I think is worth trying. Any thoughts or trials succesful or failed noted on this thread would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
