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.

Petition the change?

Would a petition from theach player base possibly revert this change? It seems as tho well over half of this games forum contributors are against the change and the time or money it will take to earn enough rrc to retune every car. It does seem very unfair to change something such as this after the game has been this way for how long.. people just keep getting more and more cars..

    Changes aren't good when every tune in the game is now useless. They turned pages and pages of tunes into nothing more than toilet paper and also took cars that were hard to get, cars that were dominant if tuned right and turned them into valueless, wastes of garage space. Why turf? Turf cars had advantages if tuned right which is why you have to turf to get one. Now they are no better than any showroom car. Bmw m2 re was top dog in 63 and 68 lobbies now it's a pile of junk. Who changes the entire layout of a game years after its out without warning? Oh that's right, Glu does. And the fact that they are so clueless as to what drives this game, will be why this game dies off. Get rid of the turf racers and you game has little to no value. Many top 100 racers are selling off and jumping ship. Just too bad the People at Glu are far too stupid to realize not all change is for the better. Sometimes, what seems like a good idea turns out to be the worst idea possible. Seems like the lobby change is just that.

    Glu wont do shitt, long as they are making money they are happy. Thats exactly what they are doing with introducing the ferraris. Long as the users are spending, zero problems, to Glu. Now if there was a exploit resulting in profit loss to Glu, best believe thats being patched asap :wink:

    But as of now, players are still spending on the broke game. Trying to get the new shii. Glu couldn't be happier by the im sure substantial increase in purchases by the players. Poll wont do none, doubt they even read the forums. Probably just check in with Ryyst for a report on how its doing. Bossman isnt even on that often lol :neutral:

    Everyone should just stop turfing and spending money on this game - any gems u get save them up and don't spend, the only way to force A change is if they stop making money from the game

    Sorry, President Obama has been in office already 7 years, can't undo that.
