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.

P.S. I think my device is not weak for this game
BTW, update from yesterday tried 3 times, since 6AM (Est) still the same thing
Well this is getting very annoying.... Very
No, I don't like you. I don't have a reason you would comprehend.
1. Global chat - please make that an option to turn on and off I don't want to see "1" in my incoming messages just to see random comments from others I don't care about.
2. Fix the boost glitch - When in tournament if you toggle between on and off it will randomly switch back to the other while waiting to race the next opponent. Example - I turn boost off because I'm in a K1 and up against a rx7 spec. I don't need boost I turn it off it says off just for it to randomly turn back on. It's weird....look into it and I hate having my boost wasted when I didn't select boost. Same goes vice versa.
3. Graphics - it's just bad don't know what else to tell ya. If you make excuses for it because it must be something on our devices? No...it sucks plain n simple. Shouldn't matter what device. I have iPhone 6 and please don't tell me it's something with that. Lame.
4. Team chat is barely visible to the eye. For example I'm Co-Leader so the blue bar and blue text does NOT do well on the eyes and neither does the leader orange text on orange bar. Look into this and correct it which leads me to my next point.
5. Font size - Holy smokes! How little are the letters on this update very hard to read most times.
6. Fun - The whole feel of the game with the messed up paint jobs, rims and overall look discourage the racer from even playing the game anymore. It's not fun. Call it my opinion but the only person I don't know saying they love it his name is pigpen and his ass is far up your companies ass it isn't funny so he doesn't count.
7. Did I mention the update sucks? Oh ok....just fix the game I'm sure you're well aware your numbers are dropping as the weeks move forward so this should concern your entire Glu team.
I'll be checking from time to time until the next update from you guys happens. Until then I'll have more time to check out other app games as RR used to be my one and only game I loved playing. That it is no longer.

1. Team points board. You can't tell who's leading team in points.
2. Team standings from team board.
3. Team chat is horrible with small font
4. Blue background on every aspect of the game is plain ugly. Makes you not want to log on to the game.
5. Lag...lag... lag...
6. Perfect launch sound is plain stupid. The tires screech needs to be back.. that swoosh sound from flare throws you off.
7. Graphics sucks
You guy will definitely feel the wrath from Lou customers especially this upcoming turf. Most of the top 25 teams will sit this out.
Seems like it was related to graphics crashing because there was a brief moment where the shipping container animation would start and it would freeze for a second, but when it froze for that split second the graphic was pixelated.

I dug up an old iphone 4 and downloaded the game under the name "slammed 80s" The graphics actually looked better than both of my Samsung devices. same deal though. too much lag for pretty much everything. it will not play videos and there isn't an option for the graphics.
Hope that helps.
