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.

Welp, not racing ANYMORE on anything but WiFi. Even if I have 5 bars on LTE.

Maybe AT&T isn't the fastest, but all of my other games seem to work just fine even if I have ONE bar of LTE. I understand that live racing may take a little more resources and internet speed, but ther are other live online games that run just fine off of ONE bar of LTE. I've lost lots of money and cars due to lag, DNF, etc. Not sure if it's the servers or my connection (becase even at home, some people still have issues,) but I really hope the next update is to the quality of your servers.

    AT&T is the most expensive and should be the best, LTE is faste than 4g. So its all CIES servers you shouldnt need a perfect connection to race.

    I have AT&T and have the same issues, I can skype and HD video chat no problem, play other online games, but can't race....
