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.

How are the developers/admins finding Vanilla? I've been thinking about using it myself.

Looks pretty clean.

    It works.....

    It doesn't do somethings, but we're also redesigning it. This was just a glorified template we wanted to put up as soon as possible to at least have the forums up and running again.

    I will say, their customer service is pretty solid... not sure if it's because the level of customer we are, but we definitely don't feel like an account and more like actual people.

    Once we have the forum up and running with our changes, we'll see. but so far so good.

    Well the software itself is pretty expensive, so it's no surprise that the support is there for the clients.
    It actually surprised me when I saw the pricing just now, I thought it was like $50 or something. Boy was I wrong. o.O

    Just change all the blue to dark red and I think it'll look alright.

    It's a pretty sleek looking forum software. I just wouldn't pay that much when there are equally good softwares out there.

    Yeah, I prefer my nulled IP Board to be honest. :p

    We have our artists making mock ups of what our next game's forums will look like. We'll then use the structure as a template for the rest of the games, including Rivals. Our Rivals artists will then create art assets and set the overall theme of the new Rivals page.
