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.

Is selling cars safe?

After the Racing Rivals glitch was repaired and taken care of, certain changes had taken effect, such as the 1 million dollar bet limit or the 5 million dollar max income per 30 minutes. Is it safe to sell cars? Will we be banned if we sell a car for 15 million and we'd like the money upfront before handing over our prized possession? Or will we have our money taken away because of the increase in bank roll? If this information was specified somewhere in the forum, I did not see it. Is it possible for anyone to share their knowledge about this topic. I'd hate to start selling my cars, increasing my bank to an appropriate number, and then watch it diminish before my eyes.

    Selling cars is never safe as it is an unsupported activity. So if you chose to "sell" your car to others or "buy" them, it is at your own risk, Cie Games Support will not stop you from doing so, but we will also not recognize it as a legit transaction.

    I believe we all know that it is not supported and we are taking risk of losing it during a transaction, but the main concern here is both racers losing $$ or getting banned for reaching the mysterious limit, that no one knows except you admins. So the question here, whats the limit of $$$ and cars in a certain period of time, that none of us can guess?

    we cant reveal those numbers because the idea is that its a catch for someone transferring cars or money which we want to catch. That being said our in game trading has gotten to be a large subset of the game and these numbers may be re-evaluated.

    Fox I'm not takling about transferring. Say I sell a furai to my friend for 45 mill since I'm broke now. Am I screwed? I'm still banned and don't want to get banned again. Have no intention of transferring cars. Like my account and will keep it till I'm done playing.

    soo what if we legit race somebody and hit that 5 mil limit.. that is not fair if we win over 5 mil in turf because I know I raise the bets all the time hoping for a forfeit and some free points

    The only way would be to pay 5 mil at a time until the 45 mil is reached (over time of course) and then pass the car to whoever bought it.

    The limits in place currently are only meant to catch abnormal racing activity. If you race normally, you shouldn't trigger any of the automated bans. As we see that most of these bans are due to "Trading/Selling/Buying" cars, we may re-evaluate our limits.

    That being said, I will say that these triggers are not "amount per day" its more "amount in a very very very short amount of time".
