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.

More Hustlers & Scammers than ever

I've noticed since playing after the new update, that there seem to be more hustlers and hackers around than ever before. By Hustlers I mean, just about every room I seem to go into, somebody has hitched a ride via friending and joining, in a car that is 1 sec or more faster than everyone without even trying. They are preying on noobies and it gives me the squirts. When you try and out these losers by posting a message to warn people, they go into defensive mode and try and justify their lack of skill. I think an update is required where if they run a certain time in a certain room, they get disqualified. Why not? They've done it with cars to stop the hackers. Why not apply it to the rooms.

    You had a good idea until u said delete join button. Some of us play with real life friends that never get into the same room. But a time max on rooms would be great idea.

    You do not have to race anyone, if you're new ... you'll learn fast. But I wouldn't call joining a 'wrong' room as hustling. As they don't know who is in that room either, never underestimate a fellow competitor.

    All they gotta do is make it so a lower rated car can join an higher rated car but a higher rated car can't join a lower rated car. That way people can still trade and join their friends. But someone can't lurk in a lower room with a maxed r class.
