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.

25 wrapped car . I didn't receive a paintable car at all and he only recieved 1 paintable car on his account . Plain and simple cars should have been rewarded to accounts that claimed .....
I see both sides of the argument - from the players perspective, and from Carbonated's perspective.
Players Side - The way the information was put out there, it gave the impression that if you ran in the turf war and were on a team that won a car...you'd be receiving a second, paintable one. Didn't make any mention of having to be on the same team, still needing to have the original turf reward car in your account when the paintable one was issued, etc.
(Bear in mind I don't work for or speak on behalf of Carbonated...as such, this is all speculation)
Carbonated's side - Those that ran in turf and finished T100 or above won a car. Pure and simple. Now, were the graphics on the car the same as what was promised? No, but the fact remains, any player that earned the car, won the car. Because of a mistake on our part, what was given, was not what was promised. We went the extra mile to honor our original message, which was that certain teams (T26 to T100) would be receiving a paintable version of it. We actually went even further, and for the sake of keeping it fair among the winners, issued every player that won a car, a second car (T1 received paintable with T1 rims, etc). We honored our agreement.
WIth that said, the only part of this that I don't know if they will address or not - is how the information was put out there. In that respect, they didn't advise that in order to receive the second paintable version of the car, you'd have to hold your original until the date they were issued. They didn't put out any information in that respect.
The only thing to do now is hold tight, and see what the official answer / feedback is at this point. We can speculate and go back and forth on this all day long, but we won't have a 100% iron clad answer until the powers that be chime in.
