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.

Why when Pinked the game asks for 7000 gems!

Hi,

Is this a bug?
Why to recover or buyback a pinked car we need to pay in some instances 7k gems.
even cheap "cash" cars, the game asks some incredible amount in gems (cheap cars like 1,000 gems)

When we try to sell a car in game it gives you a very low amount of cash, not even gems.

just wondering.,
Thanks

    it should not ask you for gems to pink race, unless you lost the car and its asking you to recover it

    if you are referring to the buyback AFTER pink slipping a car, these gem values are higher because it takes upgrades into mind. Also these values are higher than default because if they were lower players would duplicate cars.

    Someone had lost a maxxed Furai to a pink slip. The system had asked for 60,000 gems to purchase it back lol. But I see why it is set high.

    Sorry RR fox , but a million dollar car (not gems) car is not worth 7000 GEMS, not even maxed. SPECIALLY if i sell to the game, only gives you $250,000. not gems, but dollars.
    and yes is the buyback after pink slipped.
    I'm glad you mentioned the upgrades, and You should bring back to the team for assessment.
    Thanks

    Well FOX's response made sense to me now, I like that they even kept the default stock car higher... That should be good to keep the value of the cars from going down hill also. In short "no one use the buy back" lol

    I'm gonna have to agree with all. The buy back option is ridiculous but kind of understand why it's higher. My argument is two fold. 1: why would I spend an x amount of gems on a car that I could buy and upgrade instantly with gems for less than half the cost? That coincides with duplicating? I don't get why it matters if someone wants that exact build/paint etc. it's still making CIE the exact same amount of money as the original. Maybe it should be like cost of car + instant upgrading all parts + 10%. That's reasonable- and something I might actually do. Otherwise I think the buyback should be removed totally because I haven't met a single person to actually use it. It just gets in my way lol

    I personally think It should be removed completely! In real life you don't buyback a car after you lose it. its gone leave it gone

    Well in reality, I do not pink. I like my cars. I get very nervous in the few times I have pinked. But truth is, is part of the game, and I wish that at least, I can pay the same amount of money I used to create my car, that way no one will buy back at a better price over and over, but I could recover all the time and customization that I used for it.
