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.
"FINE TUNE" boycotting turf until app is fixed
We the members of "Fine Tune" will be boycotting turf until new app update issues are resolved. We take turf events very seriously spending our money every week for gems and see no point in wasting our money with bugs, lag, and other app related issues. We will resume turf upon the app being brought back to the standard it was before the update. We invite other teams to also boycott with us and not spend your hard earned money on a laggy and hard to use game.

As is, it seems like they quickly discovered what's gone wrong and have the big issues in focus and want to chip them away as quickly as possible to get some fresh fixes rolling in the immediate future. Give credit where its due, they can very likely make a comeback after this update's launch and get things into a normal feeling groove once more. Enjoy your vacation amigos.
