What has happened to the gold bar race

Hello @Courtney1990

Did you perhaps accidentally press to leave the Episode Race? If yes, then you will first have to complete the episode until a new episode can start; 1 episode consists of 15 levels. If no please try troubleshooting: provided you saved your progress with a King account, log out of the game - clear the cache -> not data  that will delete your boosters - power off your device for at least 1 minute - restart your device - check for game and device updates - log back into the game. Also make sure you have at least 2GB free memory storage to run the game smoothly and try to connect to a WiFi connection instead of using cellular data.

Clear cache in Android: go to settings - tap on apps - tap on candy crush soda - tap on storage - tap on clear cache (not data❗️)

Clear cache in iOS: go to settings - tap on Safari - tap on Clear history and website data

Hope this helps.
