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.

    Rooms are not calculated by car ratings.

    I'd love to, but I can't. I'm just reiterating what Foxx has said in the past and what still rings true. Rooms are not sorted by ratings. It just somehow works out to seem like it is, but if you base everything on ratings alone, you would be inaccurate.

    noticed that you didn't have to spend gems on a car to compete this time either??? hmmmm.... seems like the trade off is a jacked up lobby system

    What's the explanation for that Ryyst? How do we tune our cars to match the guys with 500 car garages if we can even get a solid answer on the ratings for our cars between garage and lobby? Oh yeah, one of my Civic type Rs was rated 1650 earlier today? Not trying to call you out of be too picky, it just makes the game very tough to be successful at if all these variables are changing but we have no control!

    ive noticed something weird also with the way lobbys work. i have 3 subi's a 1648, 1649, and 1650 rating and all 3 put me in diffrent rooms each that was just confusing. mainly because thought the so called room caps went from 1645 to 1650. but my car ratings have been changing plus double install on parts again that throw off the rating also.

    It's actually different for me, I had cars ranging from 1643 to 1651 and they all got put in the same lobby. Refreshed the game and their ratings changed every single time I did it. Did the same thing in d class where downing to 1640ish still put me in maxed lobbys.

    I had an sti rated at high 1650. I removed a part (0.9 hp and 0.5 weight) and I was a 1648. I reinstalled the part and it was a 1651. Needless to say that car is sitting this turf out.

    My problem is that according to Ryyst... There is no good way of knowing what that person can run... Thus making Any race a potential loss. Maybe a single car event, with maxed tune is the only safe race. There is a very strong consensus that turf lobbies are around ratings. There is nothing remotely fair about a 1+ second gap in a lobby when both cars are running boosted when the formula is unknown... The rating system is aimed at judging speed and how a car will perform, yet if turf lobbies are not using this system, how do you know when a way faster person will get added to your lobby. This past week was prime example because it was by class. It is like comparing a maxed car time to a stage 2 time, and saying its fair...
