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.

What is light holding and was I doing it?

Some idiot named snake oil accused me of light holding because he lost to me in tournament bmw battle. I was at the light waiting for it to start both cars were visible. He disconnected and I won by default. He called me a scammer and a few other things then disconnected like the coward he is so I could not respond to him.

    Nah that's not what light holding is. He simply disconnected and got mad. That's been happening to a lot of people in tournaments which is why I don't do tournaments. Light holding, or more appropriately Light Lagging, is where someone purpously makes the lights take forever to start (or in some cases go at weird intervals) in a pinks race all in the attempt to throw you off your drop launch timing. They get a lot of cars like that because they are expecting it and you aren't. I don't know exactly how they do it, I just know its possible.
