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.

The F1 was released. Imagine how ecstatic I was, knowing that I am a Nissan fanboy first, and McLaren fanboy second. Now even though the MP4-12C GT3 with its whopping 2000 Gem cost is slower than the majority of the R class cars, I was absolutely sure that the S Class 650 GEM CAR would definitely be faster than a Huayra or ZR1, and definitely faster than a Viper or McLaren. As I was building it I was going, “daaaaammmnnnn look at all the power its making and how little it weighs! WOO this is gonna be a screamer!”
Then I finished my first turbo build with a rating of 1666. -_-!!
The R35 GT-R top speed thing? That’s an argument in it’s own, but let me tell you WHY I am SO upset with YOU At CIE about this car. Like, I am BEYOND mad. More mad than being scammed out of 3 mil for a Skyline Mad. Because HERE is what YOU did.
You made this car that runs a low 8.0 at BEST on Turbo (trust me, I know,) and a high 7.9 on supercharger 650 gems. It is the MOST EXPENSIVE S CLASS CAR IN THE GAME (unless you count the Huayra,) and also the SLOWEST? Hell, the Nissan GT-R (with the CIE 154 MPH top speed limp,) is faster than this car.
This car can make MORE horsepower and weigh a WHOLE lot less than cars that would kick it’s a$s!! A Pagani Huayra with 1010 HP and 2390 weight can make a low 7.8 pass. A ZR1 with 1042 HP and 2877 lbs can run about the same. WHY is this car which WEIGHS LESS, and HAS MORE HORSEPOWER, SLOWER?! WHAT is your logic behind THAT? I would LOVE TO HEAR IT.
The third thing is, as much customization goes into each car, and using specific parts like cams, fuel injectors, valve springs, etc, I can tell you guys are obviously going for something realistic. I don’t know how McLaren let you get the license to use the F1 when you have EMBARRASSED what was, at one point, the FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD.
Most IMPORTANTLY, I feel like YOU at CIE KNEW this information. You KNEW that people know about the McLaren F1’s heritage, its legend. And you knew that putting it in the showroom at that price would generate lots of $$$ for you at CIE, because people would assume, “Hey! This was one of the fastest cars in the world! Surely it’ll be a beast!”
Only for you to give us yet another watered down version of its real life counterpart. What’s next? You’ll give us a Bugatti Veyron that maxes at 2000 HP and weighs 2500 lbs, but runs 9’s, and charge us 2000 gems for it? I have plenty of cars that are actually fast in their respective classes. Why should I buy any other slowa$s car from you? You know, this is like the second time y’all did this.
Please consider fixing this car to be capable of at LEAST running with the ZR1, and also for the 12013129321903201th time, PLEASE fix the top speed of the GT-R, or explain WHY you cannot.

Bump for the sake of discussing the GT-R.....since obviously the F1 is a lost cause.
You said one of the reasons is because you can't make an older car faster than a newer one.
Then WHY is the EVO VIII FASTER than the EVO X?
