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.

So from now on anytime this happens or when I get challenged by someone not in their correct lobby their IGN (at that time) as well as their team will be posted here.

    Cool idea, I already do something similar in game. I never challenge in the public lobby, so all comers challenge me (I race bots). When a Piggybacker races me, I post their Name, Car and Rating in chat. I'll be posting here as well, as long as this thread lasts. Reason I say that, Glu sees no problem, as the Piggyback is an intended function, according to RYYST. So this thread will probably be closed, No problem, no thread. I say you should post the name, car and rating in chat as well. The more doing it, the less the piggybackers can steal, from unsuspecting players.

    I would also like to add, I want control over who friends me. I don't want weak players friending me, expressly for the purpose of piggyback rides into easy lobby's. When can i accept friends? Instead of F'ing having to clean out my list, so real friends can get on.

    It's called "racing" ppl. Learn your cars and maxed ratings and you should have no problem and can stop whining.

    brken and nvths. You can both take your sarcastic and otherwise unnecessary comments and gtfo of my topic. I've been playing this game long enough to know these cars enough to decide who I will and who I will not race on the fly. I don't make a habit of racing for large sums of money and or pinks in general lobbies because I know the risks. You both are part of the problem in this game and you see nothing wrong with that. If someone tried to do these same things in real life they would get exiled faster than a leper. Because true "car people" know what they are doing. These people that are "racing" using bltch tactics to prey on what they believe are newer/weaker/uninformed players. I am by no means trying to get anything in the game changed or removed, its a function within the game...fine, do I agree with it or support it...heIl no. I am just making people aware of the people I see doing it in hopes that this reaches some of the newer players somehow and helps them think twice before blindly accepting that pinks challenge from the "stock looking but maxed" car thats in their lobby incorrectly.
