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.

There has to be something you could do to make the rooms legit! Every room is full of over rated cars. It makes the game zero fun when u try to run a mid level rating car say something around 10 seconds. Most of the room will be 8.7 cars because they joined a friend to get there. It is worst between turfs. U can't take the button out but u could make it so they can't challenge unless their car is rated for the room. Or that don't get any bonus for being a D O U C H E B A G in the wrong room with an over rated car. It takes the fun out of the game for me a veteran of the game. I can image what it's like for a new player. So please do something about the low life "join friends" scammers as they are the lowest losers in the game.

    It has almost completely stop me from racing out of turf. I get my 20 races for sponser payout and I stop unless I'm tuning. And forget running real low lobbies. You see gts-r's and such that aren't that low stock. Lmao. I agree though, it gets frustrating to race out of turf.

    Don't race the first person you see for Pinks, but I guess people are after the easy pink wins.

    HausIsBoss I agree with you 100%. But I have gotten to the point that I just don't care anymore. My serious racing is done during Turf Wars. In between TW's, I am just tuning or farming for some extra cash. It's basically a joke now to race in lower lobbies because there are more cars that don't belong there than the cars that are rated for that lobby. LOL! Even in a lobby like the 1655 lobby for example, there are more cars there that run 7 and 8 seconds than the cars rated for that lobby. My Subie WRX Sport is rated 1655 at the moment and I love to use it for farming and getting sponsor money because it is easy to launch and hit perfect shifts. But I can't tell you how many toolbags in cars that run 7's and 8's challenge me in that lobby trying to get me to run pinks. They sandbag run after run thinking I'm going to fall for it and pink them. LOL! One guy in a maxxed Stella sandbagged bigtime then messages me saying, bro your car is fast. Wanna pinks? You'll probably take my car. LOL! What a dbag. I just said nope and unfriended him. Then the next guy in a maxxed R35 steps up to try the same thing. Like I said, I just don't care anymore. I get my sponsor money then leave the lobby and go through my friend's list unfriending all the people that I don't know who added me trying to get my WRX Sport. lol

    It's easy you want to race a friend ok you want to race mom or dad ok you want to go prey in lower lobbies then u have an F in your id somewhere. That is for any rating. If you don't belong show it.
