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.
90% of all players. good luck!

There are some ways to protect yourselves from cheaters though.
The biggest thing would be to ask why your opponent is racing for pinks. Especially if you look at their car and say to yourself, "There is no way that car can beat mine, it's impossible." Cheaters are counting on you to believe that. If a player has a car that is practically impossible to beat yours, why would they be willing to risk it? Most likely they aren't risking anything. They know they will win because they have cheated. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
Does that mean everyone is a cheater and you should stop racing for pinks or money? No, the majority of players don't cheat. Sometimes though, it's easy to see a situation in which your opponent is probably a cheater.
With any kind of high stakes bets, be sure that you are willing to lose the car or cash, for any reason. Losing in high stakes races is irreversible at this time.
