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.
Turf wars is a competition to see what happens when the best racers and best teams come together and race legit.
Teams/players that participate in unethical methods such as feeding to gain the upper hand against legit racers will lose their points.
Now that the unethical players have lost their points and standing, may the best legit team rise to the top!

Now. I'm a man of questions. That said I don't want to sound contradictive of such actions but questions need to be asked.
I was of the understanding that such practices were not breaching any rules. So why now ? What happened ? A couple of months back there was an autocrashing turf session galore. Why was this allowed and similar actions were not taken ?
When I heard the news I went online to check standings but to my surprise nothing seemed to have change. Why were the final standings unaltered ? I heard that only two of the top20 teams were legit.
Something which is besides the point here but I wanted to ask. Why is it that by default only t25 teams are listed in the standings ? Can the t100 be all listed ? As things stand, teams which want to try their luck dont know what points are required. If t100 teams are listed than points required to make it to t100 will be known. Thanks and keep it up.
Only 1 team was stripped of all points. Of the teams that got hit only had 1 or 2 players. Some teams dropped over 60 places from it. Several teams in the top 25 actually jumped all the way up to top 10. I tracked the results before and after the crackdown to see how much it changed things, but I can't release that publicly. I'll keep that in mind for later
Banning people for mills is crazy. I take well over 100m rrc every week in races. Y'all gonna ban us to?

> Only way we will all benefit from this is if they put .50 cent mils in game. There profits will go sky high but lets get real they too stupid to do this instead they ban mil dealers tryna force us to buy from them but in fact it'll just make a shitt ton of legit players quit
If they sold at 65 a mil ild buy . But that would hurt noobs in campaign

Getting butthurt? / they aren't taking my chances away. They are making my chances. What do you want me to do farm campaign all day then afford to build 2 svt cobras? Or with this new stupidnpounts make 1k or not afford to make any more? These new points are demanding more mils . More expensive cars . Go ahead and say the mils would higher prices. You can buy cars in showroom r2
> Im curious why they decided to punish self crushers this week but allowed a self crush war between drama and nexus a lil while ago. A self crush battle that everyone knew about days in advance. Why the double standard? (I know this happened before you joined carbonated Daniel so I'm not taking jabs at you) just curious.
Exactly my point here - https://forums.racingrivals.com/rivals/discussion/5384482/number-of-accounts#latest
I'm in favour of such actions however why now and not than ? Don't get new wrong but I ask..why punish them ? They didn't breach any rules, haven't they ?.. and since this punishment came out of the blues ie a punishment for a practice which is deemed to be legit (albeit unethical) what will happen in the future for other practices which are to date considered legitimate ?.. GS, farming , no.of accounts held , etc etc.. Would we be punished without prior notice ?
Do you mind define what clasifies as 'cheaters' ?..in my opinion using GS is cheating. I read somewhere that you say it's not. So opinions vary. Hence clarification might be required.

Message to the Developers if you have one dealer making $75k just selling mils think of the profit you are losing if that was just ONE person.
