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.

As for Rivals 1. Rest assured, we are not wiping accounts. We will most likely leave it running until the point where it makes less than it costs to leave up.
As for what you spent on Racing Rivals and what will happen if we release a Rivals 2, I'll repost something I said on one of the Facebook pages:

a bit like nitto legends
I for one wouldn't exspect them to compensate us, I have a solid $700+ in the game.
I know many many ppl have much more than that invested.
But when Playstation moves from 3 to 4 do they pay you back for the games and time you've invested in 3,2, or 1?
You can still play your old system but chances are you will get sick of it sooner than later.
I think all we can ask is that they keep the current app up and running so we can hop on and continue playing it untill it gets to the point we're sick of it.
It would however be cool if they kicked the veteran players a neat bonus for rolling over to the new version.
Or if somhow you could roll over like 20 cars out of your old garage. It would probably be the hardest decisions most of us have every made!!
But as stated above we have a long time before we need to worrie about it.
When CIE rolled the 1320 Challenge members into the newer Nitto Legends V2 they did have a brief transfer period to give their loyal racers a head start on the new game.
It wasn't much but it was enough to give the loyal racers a huge advantage over everyone else on the new game.
Those same CIE admins, are now GLU Long Beach employees.

Appreciate the positive advice!
Like i said no matter to me. But a "jump start" on a fresh app would be awsome!
