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 the photoshop comment about not returning cars @Ryyst if a car runs to fast like m2 in 50 it tie races - I had a interga run 9.577 in 50 srt4 run 9.53 and both times I lost my car - why did nt the server auto tie race - the cars I lost cost gems and had matte paint which cost gems - the 200 free gems was nice but does not touch the cost of what my cars cost.
I was not going to turf but like a boss thought fck the hackers and did my 18k min in turbo but obviously losing a bunch of cars to hackers.
In the update I would like to see a few options I don't think have been mentioned: in the option list of cars like for turf or showdown a-z etc
Could we add
Turf cars owned
Crate cars owned
Cars with matte and rims maybe
This would save us scrolling thru our 1000 car garage a lot of time
A date for when the update is released ?
Even tho I lost to hackers I still managed to beat a few which they came back and tried to race me again - that felt good but it's really out of control right now.
Soon to be Ex-Carbonated Community Manager
Then when people need points they won't chicken
What's gonna stop me from jumping in a zonda and challenging everyone that isn't in one?
Right now you don't do that because waiting for the timer to run out waste too much time.

Any chance of getting any of the old crate wheels back in the crate? The first place wheels, I used to spend A LOT on crates to get wheels and matte paints. But when you mainly get a "turf eligible" car out of a 10 pack, it really sucks. Especially if it's not even a good car, or one you would want to use in turf.
I LOVE opening crates, it's a really bad habit. But with the current wheels, and bad cars you get I refuse to buy them. I used to buy $19.99 gems, then the $49.99 and buy crates..
This is the main reason I quit playing, how bad crate pulls can be. The random number generator is set on max pain to consumer.
