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.

Why does this happen

Sometimes I get challenged. It makes the noise like someone challenged me but does not show up. Then the time runs out like I let it and pops up on screen like I let time run out. During the time I see all the racers and room and can even click on them

    That's happened to me too a few times. I won't race anyone until I see that I chickened out.

    It's very strange. Sometime I've even switched rooms and I'm in a new room then it pops up like I let time run out. I'm like wtf

    yup had this happen too. Not sure what it is but I usually back out then into the room again. Or if I feel a -3 error is brewing because of it I restart the game. Game starts acting funny like that it's not a reassuring feeling especially if I feel like I want to pink someone. Anything can happen in this game.

    since we are running a live game that is a connection between 2 players it can get a little wonky. This is usually because on person has much better connection than the other leading to jumps in waiting for one or another person to connect and "catch-up" with the other. Problems start to happen because your game is still trying to go forward. We are working on making weird hang issues like this smoother.

    A lot of the times this happens as you switch rooms. As you leave one room and join another some one has challenged you and you didn't know it. About a minute later you'll see you chickened out. Hope this helps

    This might explain how others just dart off the starting line then with certain cars? My connection might be a micro nano second behind others? hmmmm......
