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.

Bugs I've encountered...

Sometimes while being on the track you show as busy when you aren't. When you select a player to view them it goes away.
Occasionally when racing campaign I will receive a challenge from another player in the middle of the race, causing the race to be invalid, doesn't record engine damage or boost usage.
There are times when I'll be going through my parts list and I'll notice that the second stage of weight reduction will be owned but the first tier is installed instead, after I bought the second tier and had been waiting, making me wait again.
This hasn't happened in awhile, but there were times where my money would go into the negatives, I figured it was a client sided thing, maybe just my phone not keeping track properly.
The whole showing someone isn't busy while they have a "slow connection" when you can't race them gets annoying because of the occasional wait after trying to race them.

That's all I can think of right now, will add more if I notice them.

    A lot of that sounds like your device is losing sync with our servers. Unlike most mobile apps, Racing Rivals requires a constant connection, which can be interrupted by other factors outside of our control.

    Fair enough. Most of those are happening on my 3G device anyways.
