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.

Why can't programmers...

Why can't the developers and programmers at glu set a defined default time into the races, the max time for any car is somewhere around 6.5 for the zonda, put in programming if any time come across server faster than that or.anything with a negative time which I have seen, the.racer automatically loses race and account locked until further review, that's a simple answer and something that should easily.be done.

    We are not able to say if there is or is not something like this in game (cannot give too much information to people who try to circumvent such safeguards). We do take all accusations of wrong-doing in game very seriously.

    There is obviously not one in tournaments, turf races I believe there are safeguards in place, can't u guys transfer that information into tournaments? I love this game and don't wanna be a pain in the ass, but I dropped out of turf team racing for now due to the auto launch , I.used to spend 50 to 100 a week on gems now.i.have not purchased any in over a month, and I try a tournament race once a week with a crappy car just to see if it's safe yet, because I've lost a lot of good cars to -.002 Datsuns. Yes negative times these people are now going.backwards in time with these cars and traveling with negative times, so obviously no safeguards in tournament yet. So I'll continue to pop in every now and then to see if game is legit, but not gonna spend any more money on it until then.

    Just an update we banned several users yesterday for having finish times beyond the fastest finish for a car.

    I'm sure everyone shares this sentiment, in one way or another.
