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.

Since when did Porsche change to RWB and isn't RUF also made by the same manufacturer?

    It's because EA owns the rights to Porsche so only their games can use it.

    Rwb is it's own entity. It's a guy out of Japan who specializes in building custom porshe.

    Forza 4 managed to get a Porsche pack as DLC. But it was by far the most expensive of their DLC and I doubt Glu has the clout (or cash) to cut one-time deals like Microsoft can.

    The licensing for Porsche is very expensive, it's not a matter of being able to afford getting the licensing, it's a matter of whether it will sell

    At least I now know why RWB is considered a JDM (Japanese) car.
