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.
New turf system and points sÛck
The new point system blows as well as the enjoyability. It is even harder and takes longer to get a dam race due to ability to immediately chicken out. Top teams still self crushing. Nothing in turf was resolved. As a matter of fact it sucks more now. The amount of chicken outs on races have gone up 15 times what is was. Bring back the chicken points. Or find a way to make turf enjoyable because it straight blows

So, I sat and watched a lobby with 8 cars. NO ONE WAS RACING!!! 15 minutes and not a soul was "busy"
When I asked why, in the lobby, no one replied with a real answer. Just the typical BS
If you are talking about the detail that you see now....that's not "new". The system has always worked as it does currently, it's just now you see the breakdown of the points tally.

If a C class is bullied by an A class...a car that he has no shot in hell of ever winning against - he should have the option to opt out of the race. Being that you can't block a challenger in the first place, the "chicken out " button was added back - so that players don't have to wait 30 seconds each time someone, who may again be someone they have no chance of beating, challenges them.
On the flip side of that - you now have the ability to "cherry pick" whom you want to race against. In my opinion, it's not a game issue - it's a player issue. I race anything and everything as even if I'm out classed - it's the driver that matters, not the car or the build. I can give you the fastest car in the game - but if you can't launch it, or jump lights too early, I'll win every time. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks like that. So, you have a bunch of guys in a lobby, and it feels like a middle school dance. Everyone standing around staring at each other, and no one actually doing anything.
Here's hoping when the new system is introduced, that'll change.

I understand don't bring a butter knife to a gun fight. But, buy the same token...if I bring a colt 45, and you whip out a barret 50 cal and keep challenging me to a duel.....that's a bit lopsided, no? Wouldn't it be better to give me the option to duel with you, or to back out and duel with someone on my level (aka chickening out, being that you challenged me in the first place)? By that same token, shouldn't you have the integrity to duel with someone of your caliber, instead of picking on the guy with the inferior gun?

You said something about inferior gun.
We both agree that it is called turf wars correct?
If that is the case i want you to sight me a time were in a war one side did not have inferior equipment. Its not always fair in war. Someone has to win. Someone has to lose. If you bring dirt rocks to fight tanks then so be it. If you brought a tank to fight a bomber so be it. Its a turf wars.
The enemy is not going to show mercy because you went to battle with a straw and a sheet of paper to shoot spitballs at them. They are not going to say to their army " every trade your guns in for straws and paper so this silly idiot has an even fight".
I agree with you - whole heartedly. I'm going to point the devs to this thread, and see what their take on this is, as I'm anxious to see their responses.
"Trade your guns for straws and paper so this silly idiot has an even fight".....that's friggin gold.

Wrong.
It's the 750,000 mfers in a class/ b class pos cars that won't leave a turf car alone that make it so much sweeter.
Kick rocks bottom feeders.

I have had a ton of z28 chicken when i am in a z28. I understand why you like it. For those of us who are trying to rin similar class or time capable cars taking 10minutes to get a dam race is bs. I got 6 races in an hours time. Thats the problem presented with the button

It took you an hr to get 6 races with chicken button. How many race do you think you would have gotten in the same hr is all those that chickened would have made you wait 30sec each???
Regardless of chicken button. Ppl are only gonna race those they want to race.. atleast with the chicken button you can move in to the next guy faster..

Ok system is in effect. Now i will completely say this new system does suck.
It is totally stupid now. Make no sense what so ever.
1656 lobby from my personal experiences
First i used a Z28 (a class). Beat an R class 240-260pts. Beat a b class 220-240.pts.
I used dodge gt2 r class
Beat an a class 400 pts. This seems to be backwards. Shouldnt the A class car get more for beating the R class than an R class beating the A class. I mean seriously.
Also the self crush teams will certainly be self crushing in max lobbies using r2 and r3 cars
Top team will have 15m points in first event of turf lol.
Some fix. It worse than before.
At least when a 56 a class beat an r class you got 45-50 pts. When r class beat an a class you got 15-22 pts. Now it benificial to run r class and above.
Broken system. Remove it fix the formula to reflect bigger points for lower class wins and lower points for higher class wins
An r class car should not pull more point for beating an a class. Than the a class would get for beating that r class
