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.

Take the game back to last update before lobby switch. No apk, no cheats, the speed index wasn't screw aka no more ghost shifting and put game play first. Instead oh hey the launch button is overlapped so it might cause launch issue oh and btw here's a new racer club and xxx crates.

The modded APK stuff was coincidental. Hackers hack, always. Eventually these guys figure out how to break stuff. When we stopped it, they even said they would figure it out eventually, it just might take months... and it did. We were good for a couple of months. Just happened to coincide with the new update.
Ghost Shifting existed before the lobby change as well, just wasn't as prevalent. It's a "flaw" in the way racing works currently. It's something we will address once things settle down with the transition.
Once the game has transitioned, we will be looking at everything in game and looking at all the issues being reported by the players and we'll determine the best course of action. We just need some time during this transition period.

If you are talking about the change made back in July, most likely not. That was a fix, a needed fix. Leaving it would have caused more issues in the long run. So yeah, it... well... sucked to have that change, in order to help us stop cheating and glitches and APK modifiers, we needed to pull that trigger.
The problem was that we didn't know the impact the change we made was. If we did, we would have tried to better prepare everyone for it.

I know a lot of people voice their dis-like on the issue of ghosting, but I for one have come to somewhat ,enjoy it.
It has almost become an art, .. finding the right tune, looking at the dyno graph to decide shifts and patterns, or deciding the car doesnt ghost... Then you have to be able to drive it.. Much more difficult to hit that "perfect" time...And if you do... usually only a few 10 th's faster than a non gosted car..
I believe any measures taken to try to combat "ghosting",.. would end up causing much more problem's... Turn into another "lobby rating change" disaster.
We need launch button, and turf point correction immanently. .
