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.
Petition to NOT remove GS ability
Comments
Care to offer up something useful instead of "bye bye thing I can't / don't like to do"
Playing field is already level.
Why not just raise the class of the cars that respond well to GS?
If you're in a c clas 1650 SVT, would you expect to win a race against an R2 NSX RE? No. So you don't race it (unless you're going for a long shot or hope they mess up / foul which we all do). Same logic applies with GS in the picture. If you don't GS, you don't race same car that is commonly GS'd. Plenty of other cars to race. If you're in a 1650 c class SVT, you wouldn't race a 1650 C class Subi Coupe, just like you wouldn't / shouldn't expect to win a race against a 1650 R2 NSX RE.

Bye bye racing rivals

> @greenstaged I understand that, I'm just saying that a fix like that will surely mess up things elsewhere just like every update does.

> exactly. they cant remove GS without changing core mechanics so no doubt it will lead to more broken drama
Actually they can remove it with out messing with mechnics. Just have it so shifts with in a certain time span does not register. @aubassplayer has had good ideas on how to "fix" it before.
