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?
1. Engine Swaps
2. New Sounds for both Cars and Audio Overall
3. Added Wagons, Coupes
4. More detailed customizations : lip,splitters,fenders,headlights/taillights, hoodscoops, vents, trimming, different branded lowering coils, drag radial tires, exhaust placement (under side skirts, in headlight,through hood),vinyls,etc.
5. A trading system made in support website.
6. Different types of paint jobs (matte,candy paint,glossy, metallic,etc)
7. Custom Tuning & Test Driving
8. Weather/Setting Switches
9. Window view option when racing
10. When customizing engine parts, hood pops up and shows which part you want to upgrade.
11. Choice of different models of a car (Supra MK2,MK3,MK4,etc.)
-private lobbies
-shorter/longer tracks
-antennas on cars (wtf)
Things that definitely need attention:
-friend/lobby jump: very simple solution; you can jump up, but not down. So code up a loop that prevents, say a 1645 from jumping down to 1635, but can go into 1650,55,63, max etc... You wanna trade with your friends or make a fool of yourself, have your friend bring out the big guns. Ultimate solution to douchebags with RWBs in 1635 lobby...
- graphics: a lot of fenders bend outta shape when the car is slammed and the wheels upgraded. Touch up the graphics so that the big wheels tuck in nicely to create some hellaflush buzz...
-different car sounds would be a BIG plus--especially brand specific sounds
And finally, take out the damn boosts!
This is tricky because of car manufacturers. Obviously they have say in what their cars look like in game. Especially in a game like this that tends to make the cars more realistic than say our Car Town franchise. They would need to approve every mod/kit we put in to make sure that their car is represented to their liking which can be a tedious undertaking. So, we'll see, but it's hard to do.
Different length tracks
Something we've been talking about.
Lobby Changes
We're looking into making lobbies better, perhaps with different lobby types
Car Sounds
We know. Most has to do with data space. We'll see what we can do
Gear Shift Sound
See above
More Tuning Options
This would be a huge undertaking. We would have to re-evaluate every car along with creating a new tuning option. We have had discussions on this though so its not off the table
Colored headlights
Stay tuned
License Plates
Another idea that's been toyed with, no specific info on it
More report options
We probably won't do a "language" report, we jonestly do not log chat.
As for reporting cheaters and scammers... 1 we don't recognize scammers, 2 the definition of cheating is to broad. Best bet is to contact Customer Service which allows you t odescribe the events
Different sized tires (not rims)
I haven't heard it brought up, but I'll add it to my list
More Campaign Options
We are re-evaluating the campaigns
Different Music
Looking into it
Tire smoke
Looking into it
Engine Swaps
Another idea we've been toying with
Weather
Investigating the possibilities
Blue Print Trading
I'll bring it up
Soon to be Ex-Carbonated Community Manager
We're currently looking into different options
Different Paint
We have some new ones coming
Test Track
Talked about.. we might do this
No Boosts
Doubt we'll take this out... maybe we can make it a lobby option
Multiple view options
This would be tricky, I'll bring it up
Fast and Furious Cars
They have a deal with another company
