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.

    The forum isn't a private forum for only legit people, or else we would get no new people. Rather its a forum that takes immediate and serious action on those who DO scam.

    We already have 40 dollars "pledged" plus I may try to bring in 10 or 15 myself. If you could sell even one turf car and donate the money to our cause it would help a ton. The only barrier right now is you guys
    We need the money and after that the job gets passed to me

    It's literally the same thing as this except we control it. Everyone's invited until you scam. Then you're out forever.

    I think we should have a set of people specific for the scamming, they get given evidence and they decide if they scammed

    Bro, I have so many ideas that it would blow your mind. It covers this as well as like 10 other things. But I'm not disclosing ANYTHING until we get funded ;)

    I think it's a great idea, but the issues some of these wise people have presented is precisely why I haven't already done it myself without a fundraiser. I'm a professional webmaster, it would take me an afternoon to throw together a twice beautiful and functioning forum than this, but it wouldn't work for various reasons as people are pointing out. Best thing to do is find friends you like on here and trade/sell Amongst them like the Facebook groups or Kik groups etc.

    Your view is respectfully noted. That being said, I AM up to this task which means there really is no reason not to do this.

    All the negative viewpoints on this thread at least have been stating that running a site is "difficult" Yeah, it is. Not going to lie it's gonna suck up a few weeks of my time perfecting this thing. But I'm willing to do it, which is why this is going to work.

    I like the fb idea! Set the cutoff for 20-30 legit deals to be accepted, with zero tolerance for scammers! If you don't have fb, oh well!

    Couldn't agree more @JustAnonymous

    This is why

    1. Not everyone has nor wants facebook
    2. It's horribly Unorgnaized
    3. No real way to deal with scammers.
    4. No easy to access vouching system
    5. And it's PRIVATE. I can't stress enough that I'm not aiming for a private group here guys! I want new members, or else the economy is going to die because eventually the cars we trade are going to get passed around so much that everyone has already owned it and doesn't want it.

    I'd MUCH MUCH MUCH rather a forum.
