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.

> "To me someone using ghost shifting is trash and has to abuse the game in a way it wasn't intended to be used to gain an unfair advantage over other racers who they are scared to man up to in a head to head race in a respectful manner."

> I have to ask if ghost shifting is abuse and was never intended to be part of the game. Then why do the release and make cars that are made to be ghosted? Example the 2017 Dime gt, 1970 Camaro re, Gto re ect. Ect.

> @JohnKIV they aren't ever made to be ghosted. It is an exploit. Point blank

> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The ghost shifting comes up once in a while. It has been explained in posts many times. It is not in anyway a cheat. A car has to be tuned correctly to do it and if not done correctly there is no advantage. Tuning and driving a ghost shift car is no different than figuring out whether a certain car needs nos, turbo or s/c. Where's the advantage? Players know which cars are capable and try to use it to their advantage. Do you use turbo in your tune if you know it gains an advantage? Do I call you a cheater if I didn't know that and chose s/c instead? What's the difference. If you simply choose to dislike gs and think it's cheating, don't race cars capable of it. If I gs a jetta against another gs jetta there is no advantage. If I chose to race a jetta and I am not ghost shifting I am a fool. So I say to those who don't like it; be careful out there. There are other advantages out there too like light weight rims.

@[RR] Dupe - Care to chime in on Carbonated's official stance on emulators, or any other 3rd party device that can be used (beyond a tablet or a phone) to play Racing Rivals?

Have to remember though, this is no longer GLU so whatever GLU had said or pushed for it's former Facebook users to use or play with has nothing to do with Carbonated.
Truth be told though the only way to STOP emulators from being used to play Racing Rivals is to shut down Racing Rivals.
Edited: They didn't "push" emulators but they did mention it as an alternative way to play.

> Great news to give you guys a head start review the whole scamcrowracing crew they are a popular turf team but I raced them many times in turf and every time it was a rt of .001 like really once is nothing to think about but when you see it often in one turf all of a sudden it rings a bell...so I went and asked my teammates and the ones that raced against them they said they also had an rt of .001 which is a little off tbh
@DuceRee that's hilarious nobody on samcrow racing cheats or hacks we do not even self crush to keep up with other top 25/5 teams . I'm sorry you feel like getting .001 frequently is cheating it's called skill. You realize you're calling out the oldest most legit team in the game ? Show me screen shots of anyone using game guardian running absurd times on Samcrow Racing They will be removed . Thanks and have a good day .

I never said you guys were using that now did I
> For what it's worth - playing on an emulator isn't supported, and is frowned upon. Best bet is to play on a device that the game is intended to be run on - smartphone, tablet, etc.
It would be nice if the game was playable in my device. Then I wouldn't have to play in emulator.. Haven't been able to play since 6.0 came out. And yes I've updated to the newest version of the game.. still .500 lag during the race..

I'm starting to wonder if it's just your device specifically. I don't mean that as an insult or anything of that sort.....but I'm wondering if, for whatever reason, the graphics processor whatever your phone uses simply does not play nice with the unity engine that this game runs on.
I wish I could fix it for you man - as I hate to see any reports of people that really want to play / enjoy the game, and are unable to.
