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 is going on with Shelby GT500 Coupe?

First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my post.

In the Class A turf war, I have a nearly maxed Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe. The rating is 1659 and the Max listed on the forum is 1665.

Power is 906
Torque is 839
Weight is 3127
Grip is 262
Shift speed is .300s

I am also getting 2 sometimes 3 perfect shifts.

I am using the 5gem boosts that push my power up to 1,005ish So far out of 13 races I have won 1. Out of the 12 I have lost 2 of them due to me starting late, .239 and .102
So that leaves 10 races that my reaction time was faster than theirs. .0xx
Out of the 10 races, 9 of the cars have beat me by at least .7xx with the worse beating was 1.16s.

whats up? What did I do wrong with this car? with all of my other cars, IF I do lose and if it isn't due to a late start, then its .5 second loss or less.. (close race) But in the Shelby, I am getting my butt stomped into the ground.

    You probably have to reset. Ratings be off. As far as launch its a tricky car in my opinion. Cie tricked me into buying it for turf. Lol

    lol Same story here. they had the 50% off deal.

    I finally got on my first turf team and didn't want to get booted so I got it out of desperation so I could run in the A class.

    A maxxed gt500 should be 1662 1659 isn't the max tune for that lobby , that lobby runs from 1656-1663 so your not far off max just upgrade a few parts and it'll be good for turfs - your time should be around 8.8 unboosted and 8.4-8.3 boosted

    I bought one too thinking it was a turf car, I kept the tune below 1650 (1648) and won most every race. The launch was the key, at that level lift when the second light goes full on just before third light comes on and it comes out of the hole rolling hard. Hope that helps :) Ad
