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.

Ik I saw at least one other post...I spend real money on this game...and its sad that I'm more worried about the game messing up and stealing my cars than the opponent's I'm racing...

    Unfortunately this has happened to about everyone in the game. The admins are working hard on fixing these problems but our job for now is to wait patiently while they work things out with glu and add the finishing touches to what should be a masterpiece

    If I was a mod or Cie slash gluu. My response would go like this. You knew for a month since the update that pinking wasn't safe with this horrible present update. So you took the risk so live with it. Lol.

    That's probably why you aren't a customer service representative...

    This happened to me a day after the update went live. Lost a good Civic Si. I immediately sent in a ticket. I noted the time, date, opponent name, and had a screen shot of the timer sitting on zero seconds. About a week ago now they finally got back to me, so a month's time. They added a random 1646 Si (not at all like the one I lost lol) and 100k to my account. So yes it took a while. But if you politely send in a ticket, not ranting and raving, and provide all the details and evidence as possible, they should help you out. Especially if you are a paying customer, as I am.

    So when we have said in the past that races are irreversible, we meant it. Often times once a car is lost to someone and that person loses the car, we lose track of it. So we end up giving you a stock car along with gems and cash to rebuild. Its a limitation of the tools we have. Which we are improving over time which is why in some cases we can try and restore your car, or in most cases just give you a car along with currency.

    That being said, we do not guarantee that we will be able to provide any restorations.

    Just be sure that when you email customer service you provide as much info as possible and that you give them specific races.

    I sent in a ticket on Monday morning, 8/11 under the IGN 04MUSTANGGTMAN. At approximately 6:15am EDT I lost a near max viper to a game freeze. I challenged my opponent, he raised to pinks and when I accepted, the game froze on me. The red "Let's Race" banner just started to show when it froze. I provided the 3 screenshots to show that the game was frozen but I could still scroll through the cars at the bottom. Unfortunately I don't remember the lobby number or the opponents name. When I rebooted, my car was gone.

    I know there's a risk to pinking especially since the last update has so many bugs with it. I hope I get some help with my loss but if I don't thats OK to. I still like the game and hope the next update clears up a lot of these issues.
