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.

You guys should look into adding a rating somewhere when racers challenge or are in the lobby. It is annoying to get matched up with some guy who joined in a lower car then friends someone leaves and jumps back in the lower lobby with a maxxed out car and trys to take pinks or your cash. This is a very frequent problem.

    One very simple solution, Don't pink or money race in the public lobby, save that for turfs. The only way to see the rating right now is the post race results, If the guy piggybacked and challenged me, i post their name car and rating. If you love hate mail, this is great, it seriously F's up their hunting activities

    What they need to do is provide more lobbies for class of cars it's unfair if u to a lobby with a integra or GTI and all of sudden hell cat bmws and others with hp of 475 and larger storms the lobby and keep asking u to race like 7 8 times or until u leave. Also a car of 1648 has no way to know if the number of who challenging them until the stats come up and c 1655 or more yes there is the except and declined but time u get those scammers say it's not maxed I have no work done its stock if the rating number was availible u would have more players and happy racers

    In the public lobby, i do not challenge. I use the bots to test and tune, to keep sharp. When someone challenges me, I'll accept, but do not pink or money bet. This way they are stuck in my game, not theirs. If you challenge, they will money or pink bet you every time. By accepting the challenge they will only get Street cred, no money, no pinks. When the race is over, win or lose, If they piggybacked, their name, car and rating are posted in chat, for all in the lobby to see. If they don't want that, don't challenge me. I'm getting tired of the crap weak gameplay, Till the lobby is locked proper, I will continue to be the lobby narc

    GLU don't want to deal with it, I will, in my way.

    The main problem, with your idea. Is they piggybackers, will target those who are so new, to not know about the rating

    The rating problems are worse in turf wars or showdown I went in turf wars for 2-5-15 and the cars that was available in my garage to race couldn't match up to the cars in TW lobby the race in lobby said it was rated 63 my cars rated at 47-57 with no way to upgrade... but in the TW LOBBY that I was in the cars in it
    Was rated at 1663 up to 1666 and I didn't find out till the stats showed after the race ended its so unfair when the rating system is like that my street credit went from 3k down to 1500 event lower its worse when u decline the challenge and the loss is like over 100 insted of like 38 or 41 how do they expect us to enjoy their game when it's rated so unfair, the new people aren't going to stay around and the old timers may not partisapate you'll probably say just upgrade the car yes good but mine are and I have no idea what went is wrong I'm at 57 and the same car comes in at 63 64-65 I not know where I made the mistake and no one is willing to help...in any way.

    It's all in the build dude, you have to learn, wins don't just come. For example, the 1630 lobby is my favorite lobby. Good times are around 12.00, great times are 11.9-11.8's. you have to build your car to compete in a room full of skilled and heavily money backed players. The heavily money backed are the free boosters, they just coin their boosts. for guaranteed wins 80% of the time. the skilled are the ones with truly fast unboosted cars. Anything faster than mid 11.8 in a 30 lobby is boosting, I just don't bother with them. I work all weight reducing perts before adding high HP (with weight gain) parts

    What you were running were maxxed cars probably, in other words maxxed cars get knocked up a lobby as since approaching the mex tune they work bettter than some non-maxxed cars with the same rating. I run lower lobby's, but that's becoming extinct now. Everyone wants big points, nobody grinds anymore
