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.

How do you know what a lobby rating is? I looked in the current lobby I was in and saw nothing about a rating.

Please advise...tia

    Each racing lobby is naturally filled by cars within a certain range. There are ways around it in non turf races but that's another subject. I can never remember the exact ranges but it is something like 31-35, 36-40, 41-45, 46-50, 51-56, 57-63, 63-67 and then Max lobby which starts at 68... I think. Your car will naturally go into a room that fits its rating. HOWEVER the ratings are rounded differently than the rooms so a car that is 35.6 will go into a 36 room but still identifies its rating as 35. In other words sometimes you will have a car that looks like it should be in one room but is placed in a higher or lower room based on rounding. There are other bugs that can make cars say they are a 36 rating but still get in a 35 room but that is typically fixed by a reboot. You will figure it out. Its as much of an art as anything to get your cars just up to the max without bumping into the next room.

    Also the room rating isn't announced anywhere by the game. You will figure it out based on what most of the cars you race are rated. And usually in normal race rooms people will tell you the room rating if you ask nicely.

    Good luck!

    Lobby ratings are 35,40,45,50,56,63,68 and maxed
    Whatever rating your car is it will be taken to that lobby. The above numbers are the max rating for that lobby, so if you have,say a 1633 it will take you to the 1635 lobby.

    And if you have say a 1635, it will take you to a 1635 lobby consisting of mostly 1670 cars!
    Good luck.
    The best thing you can do that helped me a lot, is know what most every car in the game is capable of, what class they are and what they max at. It will give you a good depiction on what should or shouldn't be in certain lobbys. This only helps to a point though, a stock vs. Max car are obviously 2 vary diffrent lobbys!
    But if you know your cars you will enter a lot of lobbys in which there will be cars in that start off stock quite a bit higher than the lobby your in!!
    This game is full of scum! Be vary cautious!!
