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.
Been noticing a couple new issues since the latest update. Several times when I've gotten challenged, I'll hear the new challenge "tone" and see the message new challenger for a brief second then it's gone. A few seconds later you get the message that you chickened out due to no response. Haven't noticed if I lost anything due to this (cash, points) but I haven't lost any cars. My buddy who I FINALLY got interested in the game has also noticed this a couple times. Only way to stop it is to back out of room before it times out.
Another thing I have glanced a couple times is again when someone challenges and during the challenge tone I also hear a "boom" like sound and very briefly see a message saying the challenger has raised the bet. Odd since I haven't even accepted the challenge yet alone placed a bet. When I do accept the challenge I do see $0 bet amount. Again I haven't noticed any loss from this one either. Yet.
