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.

    The issue at hand is the removal of all clones would include all clones ever. 90% of the people who have clones don't know they have clones. If they were to take out the clones they would in turn be hurting a great deal of legit racers who don't know what they have in their possession.

    The response from these people would be murderous to the game support that is already hurting.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they did mass bannings of the people doing the cloning.

    Which will do?

    They make a new account, clone more and move out the cars before being banned and repeating it

    They managed to do it back in CIE days, all these OG turf car clones have ruined the collector value or rarity of an original turf car

    This game is going down the drain fast, people selling clone 1st and 2nd gen turf cars. No real point in all the years of turfing, spending tons of money on gems for what? So some random kid can have 10 1st place OG turf cars and sell them for $5 to every tom dick or Harry? Absolute shame

    Glu won't do anything - partly because they don't know how to fix it

    I like this idea. And since they say they can spot a clone, this can easily be coded.

    That would put an end to the cloning right away since nobody would bother buying a clone to risk their account being banned.
