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.

THIS IS CLEARLY CIE/GLU INTERNAL MATTER, but wait.. How come some playerd can stay in game and race while others cant?? If the server is overloaded then either the entire thing shuts OR theres a max limit of players that can stay on.. Meaning? +/- 5% offliners.. But this??! More than that.,. Lol only reasons are either stack ip blocks, or the user DB crashed (checksum would clear this btw)..
Is cie responsible?? Lol maybe not the company, but the server boys? Lol is the ford car this week that good u had to f us all over this way??? Seriously???
Dirty pencil weilding nerds like me need my pixels !!! Just /create those cars and transfer it to ur buddy's #accounts.. All the user DB is in ur hands anyways.. Are the ford car numbered in anyway server side to prevent duping? Is that something newly implemented?? Screwed ur money making scheme?? Is that why u had to do THIS??? Lol
Dogs!
