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.

Question about RR servers

KamonsellKamonsell Registered Users 144 Posts
Just wondering how many servers there are on any given day. I turf pretty much every week and get 1-2, if any, teammates on my server. Which isn't a big deal except I'll be in an event in a lobby with only 3-4 other racers and teammates will say their server is just as dead. Do the servers ever get combined when there isn't as many people racing?

    Good question bro- i've often wondered the same. Most turf lobbies are half empty and you end up racing the same people just to get points.
    Can servers be combined to fill up the lobbies?

    You aren't broken down into servers you are all using the same gateway it's just how the game separates you guys all to ensure that there is no single way to know what rooms you and others will be in. They do this to prevent self crushing.

    Be nice when u changed city u raced in it changed servers so you could race more people who are good - I have 2 accs as my old one hit 250 so I started a new one and I have to say my old account has much better racers on that server - be nice if u flicked city and could experience racing everyone

    Especially when lobbies are dead

    As for self crushing it happens in game but not often- I don't think it's a issue
