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.

    @mywayracer when we see multiple accounts by created within moments of one another, and none are verified via email confirmation, they are regarded as spam. I apologize if your account was legitimate, however there were two created very closely together. "mywayracer" and "1_mywayracer".

    I will restore "mywayracer" for you, please let us know if theres anything you need. Also please note that multiple accounts are not allowed. Thanks

    @DCant not sure what your little rule thingy was all about, but I do know that staff members are getting annoyed with being tagged in random things. They've seen this probably 100 or so times, and they've allowed it so leave the staff alone :)

    you guys should make a category "closed", then when we "close" our old postings, we could move them to the closed category, less clutter then

    Meh. That clutters the initial impression of it though. Less categories generally looks better, and I'd rather just leave closed threads alone. I can sink them to the bottom of the forum if need be.

    My apologies guys, it was kind of a shocker to me. Apparently someone may have hit a corrupt file and caused a server wide error. Im working on getting it back up now. We may have lost recent posts (within hours old).... @Kingklutz @Tomclee

    Thankfully its early on and there isn't a huge member base thats all throwing rocks at me lol

    this is why embedding photos from who knows where and stuff can be iffy lol. Its a privately owned and hosted server so we can't expect the same robust stability as a multi million dollar industry like GLU lol. In progress of re-uploading

    its shouldn't happen again, I'm taking extra precautions. Don't lose faith guys, just be careful to make sure you let files fully upload before moving on. Someone may have canceled a upload of an avatar or post which in turn corrupted the .dat file. Im making it read only now that can't happen again.
