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'm all for the collecting and customization of cars, to be honest i dont remember the last time I actually raced a person down the track. Not sure if this is due to me being lazy or just the fact that the one race I happen to actually do I 1) get light lagged 2) other player or myself get disconnected 3) other player is cheating.
That being said I wish that there were more opportunities to obtain " rare" or "very low drop rate" items such as bodykits,lights,wheels or even cars. An example of this would be from the first Honda crate with the gold TSX, Silver wagon and bronze nsx. All of those cars were near IMPOSSIBLE to obtain dude to the super low crate drop rate which crated the very high demand for them from other players. I believe that Carbonated Inc has a massive opportunity to cater to the collectors and customizers in the game if they implement this into the game somehow.

Remove the annoying clicking sound on every click and remove the star wars sounds on launch and at the finish line.
More lightning in the Garage it looks like a cave
An option to buy 10 showroom cars at once like crates would be nice.
Copying tunes would be amazing
More rrc cars is always exciting for those who don't have gems.
Have showdowns for cars more frequently, but not every week to keep it special.
In racer clubs, please stop putting old first place wheels in and start putting in the new generations of first place rims. Getting the values of our old rims destroyed is really frustrating.
And don't add nos removal please. It ruins the economy for all the older players.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head
1) the scores need to go back to being in order from lowest to highest. That lets teammates easily know who is at the bottom or top quickly. Not sure why it ever changed because the way it is now doesn't make sense at all.
2) as soon as turf ends, all the players' points disappear. We have no idea who scored what. That is a problem for 2 reasons
- many teams give rewards to top scorers beyond what the game gives them for good performances.
- Also, if you are recruiting someone or if someone applies, they cannot see what the team scored so they cannot make an informed decision as to whether or not to join that team.
Thanks
I know it will ruin the value of a lot of cars but its worth it!

Secondly I think you guys at glu should refresh the turf crates as many people are simply bored of what are in the turf crates right now. P.S. DO NOT add turf cars from the 2016/17 era as people will get real pissed, add old turf cars from the old days 2014/15!
Thanks!

I'll update the list in the first comment soon so you can see what I've added from the posts. Sorry I can't reply to each one. there are a few suggestions I'll speak about in a bit though.
For those who've welcomed me back, thanks! I won't get into details, bu I'm glad I'm here to be able to speak with you all while the transition is happening. I know a lot of you have your reservations, but this should be a good thing for Rivals and you, the Players.
As for some of you remarking about new accounts, yeah, I posted a link to this thread on Facebook, so I'm sure some new peeps came from there.
