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.

    For the people mentioning specific races here. Please as advised submit a ticket to support via the "?" button. Be sure to include:
    1. year/make/model of car lost
    2. date of loss

    include this in addition to any screenshots. SS can be helpful but only in certain situation, most times the best thing to do is write out what happened for support with as many details as possible.

    There is currently a 15ish day wait for support response. Although they are working overtime to try and answer all issues there will be a wait.

    Sparkle, we understand what to do when we get a car stolen. The issue is that this problem is so pervasive you would be well advised to just stop the tourneys for now until you fix it. You would be avoiding a lot of backed up support tickets. I just sent one in. Only 1 racer I think was not hacking, in the entire tournemant! One guy did a negative time. Now if that's not bad programming, I don't know what is. Your game should recognize that as bogus and automatically DQ. I just spend $21 dollars on that HSV -010 thinking that I may be able to get some Racing Edition Hondas but instead I get it stolen by a Civic? What a joke.

    As Sparkles said, you can contact support to look into the race by pressing the "?" in game. We are aware of the issue and the devs are currently looking into a fox for the issue. We appreciate your patience.

    The oldest open ticket we have for you is 1 day old. A little weird considering your time frame. A member from the support team should be getting back to you soon.

    Hopefully someone will get back to me and see what went on and shut these hackers down!
    When I spend my real money on these cars as expensive as a Zonda and it gets taken by someone like that makes me "leary" to spend anymore money on it till I know its rectified..

    It's called extortion. The more cheaters can take your card the more money they can make. Look at how bad GLUU stock is trading. It explains why these cheats last so long.

    Perfect example, ryst is facebook friends with the creator of most of these mods.

    How do we know ryst doesn't contribute to helping build more mods? He is the one that leaks turf events.

    Once again I will repeat the same thing Skeero. Talking with someone doesnt mean they are helping them in exploits. Even if someone is your enemy, unfriending or blocking them is considered "rude" and some people wont do that. Secondly, Ryyst works for Racing Rivals and earns quite handsomely. He does not need the pennies these hackers earn by exploiting the game. I would say you need to watch your mouth before you put accusations on someone with no proof.


    I will say it again, regardless of whether or not Ryst is doing anything wrong, being friends with hackers that are trying to exploit your game is not a good thing. Rude? Who cares. I would get fired from my job in similar situation. Because of the times we live in, we also need to have a semi-professional mindset outside of work too, unfortunately, which includes not being friends with people like that on facebook. Otherwise it's a conflict of interest.

    A 15 day wait to hopefully get your $35 car back from a hacker is unacceptable,its saving me money actually cause im not investing any more until this gets resolved and a lot of other folks aren't either afraid of going threw what im going threw...

    Maybe the hackers work for Glu? Think about it; right when you lose you car you get an offer to buy it back. I refuse to race for pinks anymore, just stupid taking a chance that your about to get slammed by a scammer IMO.
