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.

Crazy lag time

Mud DiggerMud Digger Registered Users 1,928 Posts
Hey guys.. So I play on an iPhone 5 with iOS 6 I believe.. Well my son just got an iPhone 4 and we restored it and now it has iOS 7. Well he wants to play RR and while trying to show him the ropes, I noticed it's impossible for him to play. The lag is insane! Is it the game server? iOS 7, iPhone 4.. ?? We're on wifi and it's fast.. I myself have never experienced the lag that some have spoke about.. But now I see it and it's crazy.. Any one have any ideas?

    It is much slower on the 4 than a 5. iOS7 also uses up more resources so when you combine the 2 issues you can a slower experience. Normally it is playable but you will not see anywhere near the performance of your device. Try and make sure nothing else is running and make sure you aren't having an issue with "bridging" the antenna.

    Yea all he's been wanting to do is play with me, and he finally "can" and now can't.. I'm more pissed at apple for not allowing people to downgrade the software on phones that cost hundreds! It's just ludicrous.

    I agree with that! Apple boned us with their lame iOS update and now we can't go back. Makes me want to get a Samsung next time around

    yes I am, the only thing I have trouble with is sometimes the app doesn't open up on the first try, but does right away on the second

    just connection under a perfect connection and I purchased all these gems last week and cant even play my cars I bought with them and cash I spent. Just sucks cause I'm out another 25$ :( This game worked great too a week ago.I don't want to give up on the game just yet. I still want to spend money ha, this game had such a great rep a few weeks ago! :( SAD cause I was such a devoted player on my old phone and account and my new account.
