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.

Shift timing

I was wondering. Is it better to shift when the game tells you to? Or should I play around with my shift times? Also, when is it best to use nos?

    I have found that hitting the NOS directly after you launch is best. It can be a little tricky to get right, but I instantly noticed my times change by about .2seconds, which in some races is a huge difference. As far as shifting goes, it is best (In my experience only) to shift your first 2 right on what the game says. On your last couple, let it hang to right before it goes into a late shift. That is when I get my best runs. Good Luck bro

    Every car shifts differently. The best way to test a car's shifting point is to just simply test it, do roughly 3-4 runs at the same shift point and write down the consistency. Boost is not necessary. For some cars such as the Stella, the shift point is very early, where the Viper GTS it is more of a late shift, it really depends on the car. As for Nos, as BigPink said, the best time to use nos is as soon as you launch to utilize the boost as its potential.
