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.
what is the point in selling a google edition of the car or for that matter having a prize rivals edition if you can't race them in an event for that type of car. And why do you put up a sale car that takes so long to deliver and mod right as the event starts!!! this is low even for you glu....

So how about someone who can tell us? Where is that person? I'm sure the forum would have many questions for him/her.
[QUOTE=[RR] Sparkle;n4110344]We don't even know what cars will be eligible for turf until the information is released so I am afraid that kind of advanced information is not something we can give out.[/QUOTE]
Now I'm finding that hard to believe. The decision to put turf eligible cars into crates happens at least 4 days before the start of the next turf. So, someone has to know the next turf at least 4 days prior to the start and tells the person responsible for the crate contents/graphics what updates are needed. I also find it hard to believe that the turf events/cars haven't been planned out for at least a month in advance. What I'm saying is, I find it very hard to believe that when the arrangement with Google to offer a GT2 car was made, and it was also decided to make it different from the showroom version, it was known at that very moment it would not be eligible for a GT2 event. So I will say it again that offering the car for sale without informing the customer was deceptive and damaged (even further) Glu's reputation.
[QUOTE=[RR] Sparkle;n4110344]There is a good chance it will be eligible for a lot of events, but not events where the only other car eligible is not as good (that just makes no sense).[/QUOTE]
It is disappointing that I've had to play this game almost a year to learn this rule.
