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 the point of doing pinks?
Seriously there is no point in doing pinks in this game. You know why? Because friends are allows to join their friends in a lobby where they can run 8.5 while everyone else is doing 10 seconds. Even if you check the stats of the car in the profile of the person you are going to race, it tells you the stats of what should be in that lobby instead of the real one. For example, I had skyline gt- r and so did my opponent. I checked the stats of his car and his torque was lower and his weight was higher. Yet somehow he pulled off 8.4 seconds while I did 10.5, like the rest of the racers in the lobby. He even acted like it would be a fair race. So do not pink ever!! It's a major flaw of the game to let 7 second cars into 11 second car lobbies.
