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.

I know this game is a few years old now but, for fucks sakes you need to implement basic things so it doesn't discourage new racers.
I've played for 3 weeks now and the update that stopped lobby jumpers was great. But now we have people just installing parts and waiting for them to finish then racing.
You know that little indication at the top left that shows the current car you are in speed rating- we'll take that bitch and slap it next to the racer so we can see their speed ratings. It's not that hard. Then when we challenge them or they challenge us we know what they are.... I get it that "you don't know what's under someone's hood" but let's be real. Literally no one will Pink their ride unless they are maxed in that lobby or they are new players. I never go into a 1630 lobby with anything less than that expecting to Pink. And the whole "free race" things lame anyways. I shouldn't have to do a free race just to confirm the dude is legit.
