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.

Crate Cars Are Heavier Than Showroom Cars!

If you've won a crate mustang gt or a ford fpv, or any other non-exotic car with the special crate body wrap, you've noticed you can't buy any body upgrades for weight savings. For example, I won a ford mustang gt from a crate and proceeded to tune it to 1645 using my existing gt car's tune. When it was finished, the power, grip, and shift speed were all the same, but the crate car was 21 pounds heavier (2,844 crate gt vs 2,823 showroom gt). This is because the game has locks on all of the body upgrades.

So while winning these cars may seem like harmless good fun, in a turf, the crate car will always run heavy compared to the same showroom car and mods. Do you still want your crate Ford FPV after learning this? If yes, why?

Does anyone else have examples of this in their garage?

    the VW GTI also has lower traction, as opposed to the showroom one. 50(i think) as opposed to 121 for the showroom model. I guess the tires are dry rotted?
