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's with the turbo upgrades?
They used to mean something, like actually giving a good amount of power to weight, but now it's like if I want to upgrade my turbo or up/down pipe, the weight is sometimes ridiculous for the measly power you get out of them, I can see maybe for turbo piping or the intercooler. But for like even just the turbo, it's would be, for instance 12lbs+ for only 3-4 hp, it makes no sense at all.
So lately I do even bother with upgrading my turbo parts, maybe the BOV but that's it.
And I'm talking about cars that already come boosted.
Examples: ( all stage 1 )
Toyota Supra:
Up pipe- 25.5 lbs / 4.41hp
Intercooler - 43lbs / 7.35hp
Subaru STI Coupe:
Intercooler - 41lbs / 4.5 hp
Up pipe - 23lbs / 2.82hp
Down pipe - 19lbs / 5.59hp
Mazda RX-7:
Turbo - 15lbs / 7.57hp
Down pipe - 16lbs / 5.25hp
Up pipe - 21lbs / 2.65hp
Intercooler - 34lbs / 4.5hp
^^none of this makes any sense.
You should be getting massive amounts of power for these upgrades, with nominal weight, it seems flip flopped.

Just seems odd the weight to power on the Stage 1 & 2 upgrades are like what I listed, which my P/W ratio would actually go up in some cases.
I'll try blowing some cash and see what I can come up with for my RX-7 ( I think it's the cheapest to upgrade out of the 3 cars I listed )
Also that RX-7 has horrible top end power and a really wonky power curve, It dips hard around 5k then shoots up, the falls off again. ( I'd post a pic of the power curve, but I'm at a loss on how to do it )
