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.

I feel like there's an angle that is open, and I have some marketing experience, so it would be interesting to see if I can't provide something people would be interested in.
To be honest, I feel like a more honest source of info than a certain owner of a certain website provides, as well as updated info for the perfect launch tutorials, and a specific set of videos angled towards new players.
Another thing I think could be interesting is to share expert knowledge from various people, starting with forum og's. Maybe a killer tune, or featuring your collection for all to see.
I think the possibilities are endless. And I would actually insist if you were to contribute, I'd find a way to compensate you, or throw perks, or something.
If anyone is interested in any way, let me know. I think this could be fun (and profitable).
Literally, possibilities are endless, and I'm open to any and all input.

And to your point @ARES_NiiTROzz, to have tunes and the cost (RRC, time waiting/gems to speed that up all included). From those vids, have a recommendation at the end.... "hey, btw, we have some of these for sale, ready to go, plus mills, package deal, etc"
As for the tunes, I haven't developed much on my own, but I've been in front of YouTube lately on PG's and Pigpen'a pages like a college class, and I have accounts still sitting with the 1000 gems from the last glu mess up and the 500 from 3 year anniversary. So I have gems to play with to speed up tunes and things. And through and through I'm a real numbers nerd, so to test and tweak I'd be in my wheelhouse.
Here's the kicker that I think would be huge, Pigpen has went away from the thing he was doing that appeared to be most popular, the tunes. Which is cool, he's in a different space now and that's all good. But there's a void, and I'd like to try a few strategies for YouTube and Facebook with marketing that are basic hacks. I'm pretty confident my vids will jump above, and I basically can rehash some material that's already been turned out, until I'm in my own swing. I could premake 10 videos to go out once a week, and then hit the lab hard for my own completely original content.
Not to drag this already long message out too much longer, but Facebook paid advertising is the most targeted on the planet, and the racing rivals page has 271k+ people who have liked it. To post relevant information and put it in front of that many people makes massive growth a real possibility.

Get into the tunes as I learn to do them too. Start with a few tunes that are already posted by Grim, Pigpen or Jerry Rajer, or test these others from no namers who don't even talk in their videos.

It's time for a new face to dominate.
if we could show people how to avoid getting screwed, maximize profits and learn to be competitive, people would support. And then there's money to be made.
