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.

Here's a funny story

OK, I don't remember the complete details but something funny happen while I was racing the other day. I'm in a lobby racing and someone challenges me. I accept for a free race and his car rockets off the line while mine is quite a bit slower. Towards the end of the track I catch him and win the race. He then challenges me again and the second race (which is again for free) results the same as the first. Well this keeps happening for a while and I figure that he is trying to get me to pinks him or some bet some large cash. I then decide to have fun with him and I slow my car up with extremely late shifting and he slows up as well to allow me to win each time. Finally, we stop racing each other. So, I never fell for his tricks and all the races I ran with him were free races.

    That's good. Racing for bets ends up bad.
