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.

    yeah they should be setup like turfs . only ppl within rating can join the lobby not any rating that's crazy. now if this was bracket racing wouldn't matter. because winner would be they guy closest to e/t not who can get to the end first.

    I hate that too. I'll sometimes play repo man and come back to take their cars and they always beg for them back. I hate those people. Takes all the fun out. I took a maxed McLaren and a maxed Supra last week from guys hustling on lower tracks.

    I just had that tonight. Bought the new subi and wanted to see what it could do stock. First race was a 8 sec rx 7 gt spec. That's why I rarely get in multi player lobbies any more.

    I was in a 1635 lobby recently and saw someone running a SRT Viper there which is stock rated at 1637. Needless to say I never raced that person because I knew the initial rating but I could see a noob racing and getting frustrated at the time.
