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.
to RR staff, new exploit possibly
Okay so I lost 2 of my best tuned gli in 40 to screen skipping against a guy named "Tight Moto," his avatar has a red lightning bolt in it. Just when I walked into the showdown 1640 lobby, he was taking someone else's cars with cars that's aren't even fast for the lobby. I talked to the dude that lost his cars and he experienced the same thing, screen skipping resulting in bad RT or bogged launched.
I'm no network engineer,but it seems similar to what was happening back in Competitive Cod4 days. People flooding their network with torrents or some other method to have a cause a large download. This cause people on the other end to lag.
It was just a suggestion,but it seems fishy that this guy was taking cars with a 10.7 charger and 10.8 evo in 40 lobby.
Anyone else experience a surge of screen skipping during pinks since the update?

Afterwards this person messaged a teammate of mine in the same room and told him that his buddy got scammed. I almost called it quits after that.
