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.

Getting together: Stop jumpers/hacks/scammers!

    ill admit, i have lobby jumped with a maxxed car to race a friend, (an actual friend in the game) and people were giving us a hard time bringing maxxed cars to that lobby, but, we never once challenged anybody in that room except for each other. if i was to bring a maxxed car into a lower lobby, i do not challenge anyone except other obvious lobby jumpers, and i only accept races from others, but never race for money or pinks, since its unfair. but scammers need to be handled..

    It's more or less the jumpers whom are stealing cars from that class lobby with nothing but that intent. Because some ppl may not know they r maxed or just a newb to the game. Happen to me alot when I first started playing but see it more often than not know....

    I took a lobby jumpers car this morning. He was 1646 in a 1625 room and we raced so I saw his rating. 5 minutes later the idiot contacts me in game challenging me to pinks. So I used him to bring in a 1650 car and took his 370z.

    With the changes to the forum, read the sticky at the top of this section, scammers don't officially exist in game anymore, due to GLU supposedly never supporting sales and trades. Honestly, the only recourse to outing scammers now is open your own fourm, as all scammer threads will probably be deleted.

    I also out all piggybackers, my term for weak players doing the practice.

    Calling out the lobby jumpers doesn't always work. Had an experience recently where three members of the same team were all lobby jumping. When I called them out, I just got verbally abused by all three - nobody else said word one. Not fun.

    Had three different people call me out for pinks with a car at least 20 rating more than me (1630 me and 1650 them)

    Verbally abused them lol

    I take that as a compliment, when new players enter i post again, let them get pissed again. As i have said, i love the love messages they give

    So you hate the people that do that, and your response is mimicing their behaviour...

    It's like the retarded american justice system. "AH! He is a murderer! He kills people! Lets kill him because we are better!"
