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.
What do you feel is still "wrong"

Happens with a lot of cars and it sucks when tuning.

The glitch on the 68 Charger SE in the tournaments really needs to be fixed bad. Make doing the tournaments a waste of time. I just did 5x torunament s to my daily gems and lost 750k rrc to the darn things. As you see in the SS one off them hit 7.22 and 7.3 in 68 lobby. Since when is any 68 lobby car that fast? If the same car joins a turf or showdown lobby they then go to the correct lobby but in tournaments they go to the lobby they use to be in. Example I had one 50 tuned and when the glitch came out it was running 8.9 in 50 tournaments but when I joined a turf lobby it was 57 rated in the 63 lobby.
Teams busting their arses all weekend, only to end up with a silver crate (non-paintable) Focus RS RE as their turf reward.
Yes, the top 1-25 wrap looks cool but underneath it's the exact same car, as well. The specs are identical and even the name of the car is identical. Just something to make it different, other than a new wrap, would have been good. That's what makes turf cars special!
It's very disappointing, to say the least, and you shouldn't be surprised that there are a lot of very pissed off people out there.
Who was the genius who thought that it would be a good idea to just take a recent crate car (that is extremely common now) and just transfer it over to turf, wrap and all?!?
I know you'll never give free test drive, but please display the damage progress after each race. Having to go back to the lobby to check engine damage and then re-enter test drive is impractical and, more importantly, annoying.

Btw, i suggested back then to show which lobby you landed by placing it somewhere on top right side of rrc/gems
You guys have done some good things, but honestly it's just not enough to curtail the exodus tgat has been happening. Banning the glitches and hackers was a start.
I'd like to add a couple things.
Since you won't implement a trade system, allow us to disassociate our accounts from google play store, and be able to password protect it. Sure you have it that it can be linked to Facebook but that's a rookie mistake.Facebook security is super lax and that's how people lose their accounts. You guys won't help those that get burnt so allow proper security measures. Be responsible for your game and don't pass the blame to Google.
Turf events. At this point it cost more to turf than the 3peat cars are worth. It surely can't be that difficult to have new prizes. You expect us to spend money on this game but you are constantly devaluing every thing we earn, so there is no motivation to spend. You are only hurting yourselves as a company. Same deal with raver club, it's the same thing over and over and over. Why would I use gems on items I can get for a mill rrc.
The economy of the game is its lifeblood. If everything we can get has no value, why should we spend money to get the next batch?
Ypu guys totally screwed up the Ford focus rs re. It was such an easy thing to fix. Yet you gave them out server wide.....yeah that seems fair. You burnt all the turners.
Why are we stuck on servers with 3rd world country that are set out to rob us? Come on guys let's use common sense here. The biggest bunch of thieves come from certain places. Let them all play together.
The general lobbies and general chat are basiccly scam central. If a new player comes into the game and gets cheated, he won't stay. I would think you guys would have a customer retention plan, but I know better. I don't know how many coders you have and I understand that as a business you don't want to 'throw money ato it" but these problems we onto be remedied with good intentions. The rate in which players are leaving I would think you have no choice but to get it together but....
The things that need done are so common sense that I feel as though you guys are just calling it in.
You said forever there was no nos miss. There damn sure is. I even created an acount for no other reason than to log data from test track. I don't know what it is but something about the .002 rt. I didn't use this account to race or anything but just wanted to look at data. With out digging myself a hole I'll just assure you there is a problem. You guys know that though, you just told us foreverror it was in our heads.
Why is it the garage is still so jacked up. Use gems to repair have to restart tof use said car. The garage randomly disappears ( to fix this kids click garage 2x if that doesn't work send a message thrm click garage 2x fixes it. Everytine)
Give us a reason to stay and we will. As of now I'm loyal to my friends but I have 0 of the 35k points I need this turf because I just can't get into it anymore, and I oozed this game.
I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears as it's not my first times pointing all of those out. I guess I wanted to give you the chance to fix the game for those that love it.
Good luck
Shawn

And they should all be happy because
1. they can remove No's
2. new event.
Who cares if its cost them 3x the amount of gems . lol they got what they wanted right?
Food for thought
That said, if nos events evens the sc, turbo and all other events than I would say that the need to remove nos would diminish. It would be more the other way round...those who don't like NOS would need to install it in order to compete in relative nos events. The game can only strive if such events are introduced. It's just my opinion.
I still think a All Motor even and Nos only event (no other power adder sc/turbo) events would be fun. Even take it a step further to making and All Motor and Nos only events you could do power adder/car make events.
Example:
Jdm/All motor
Usa/supercharger
Euro/turbo
Honda/nos only
Chevy/all motor
Ford/all motor
Ford/nos only
Etc. Etc.
I think that would be fun and shake up the competition. And make a wider variety of tunes needed.
