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.
Please report any issues with 6.1 here. Be sure to include your racer name and any and all pertinent information.
Known Issues:
Personal Mechanic Error - Uninstalling an axle from the Personal Mechanic screen will cause an error. Uninstalling from the upgrade screen will work
511 Error - If you try upgrading through the Personal Mechanic (Alex) too quickly, you may get a 511 error causing a restart
Stuck In the Garage - If your active car is currently awaiting delivery, you can become stuck in the Personal Mechanic tutorial when starting the game for the first time since updating. Currently there is no easy workaround except waiting for your delivery to complete.

Issue - Launch button not triggering / working at the start of the race. Have to tap it sometimes multiple times to get it to work. Happens on every race regardless of mode (multiplayer, tournament, and showdown).
Settings - Download all and Experimental Graphics are turned on.
Steps taken to try to remedy - Removed and reinstalled game, rebooted phone, cleaned screen - issue persists. If any further information is needed, please let me know and I'll provide it asap.
