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.
I have a solution to lobby jumpers.
So obviously lobby jumping is a big issue in the game maybe not as important to glu as hackers and glitchers but for player's it is.
So here's an easy solution to this problem instead of being able to just add someone to your friends list make it so you have to send a friend request and the other person will have to accept that request. Now I know that some new players will still add anyone that sends them a request so it won't eliminate the problem but should definitely cut back huge on the amount of lobby jumpers out there.

If you are going to join a friend in a lobby with a higher rated car it should cost you gems. For example:
Friend is in 1640 B Class, Lobby Jumper wants to join in R2 1680.... 1680 -1640 = 40 gems + 50-75 gems for each Class between cars, so there are 3 classes between B and R2 (A, S, and R Class) if it's 50 gems per class it would cost Lobby Jumper .... 50x3= 150+40 = 190 Gems, or on the high side 75x3= 225+40= 265 gems. People who like to lobby jump spend gems, in turn they buy gems win-win for Glu/Cie. I think you can seen where I'm going with this.
I would like to know what RYYST and other admins think of this????

just for arguments sake we'll use the 1630 (12.00avg) and 1640 (11.00) lobby. If you lobbyjump (piggyback is my term), Simply delay the light by 1 second
