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.

Fortunately, I was racing myself but here's the details...
Racer Name: Flat Tired vs Racer Kai
Device: iPad 2, model MC769LL/A
OS version: 8.1.3
I was transferring a car between accounts and during the race, the iPad had an error message popup stating my game has become out of sync and it forced a restart. (I finished the race on the other device). When the game restarted on the iPad the car was lost during the race even though I never had a chance to even race (or foul on purpose).
I do not need the car returned, however this would be an unfavorable situation were it to happen during a real pink race. I was surprised that the behavior wasn't to result in a tie to prevent the loss of a car due to a game error.
