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.

Drop launch or tap launch?

Which do you guys do?
Just out of interest- as i was reading another thread and wondered who does what.
There are certain awd cars i tap launch,but i mostly drop launch the rest. I used to tap launch all the time when i first started- i'd say there's more risk of spinning when tap launch is used- but that may be just me.
So what do you guys and gals do?

    Drop launch here. Messes me up when people lag the lights though. Don't think light lagging would be as bad if I tap launched.

    tap launch all the way if you know how to do it it's almost as effective as dropping but without the fouling. you need to drop some cars tho like the m3gt2 and zonda

    @adeechi you just have to tap a lil bit lighter , if you cant tap a lil lighter ... just be ready to launch after tapping and seeing arrow get to the perfect shift RPM ... that helped me with the zonda and similar cars.
