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 the difference between the way the race looks to me and spectator replays?

I've noticed that there are differences in perspectives on races. For example, from my view of a race, I may beat the guy out of the hole and have a two car lead, only to have the guy blow past me and win the race. Then, when I watch the spectator replay, it looks like my opponent was ahead the whole time. What gives? I'm wondering if RR gives the false perspective so a racer will keep trying. Also, there are differences in perspectives between racers. I've raced friends, and again, from my perspective I beat them out of the hole and they end up passing me and win the race. When we compared notes, he reported that from his perspective, he was ahead the whole time. So why is there differences in the perspectives on races?

    It's game lag. I was racing my friend while sitting next to him and we noticed that his light lit a little after mine.
