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.

Lobby placement question

Here's the situation. I have a maxed 1648 Jetta and go to a multiplayer lobby. Just hit race, did not join a friend or anything like that. In the lobby I enter it is just me and three bots. After a couple minutes some others start joining the lobby. Another racer starts calling me out as a scammer and such because I'm in that lobby with my car. He says it's a 1645 lobby and I shouldn't be there. It's the lobby the game put me in when I hit race.
My question is, do lobby assignments change with traffic volumes since I was the only one there in the beginning, is this a backend issue of the game? Was this guy not in the lobby he thought he was in? I'm not sure what happened but being called out as a scammer when you're not sucks. I'd have a lot more to show for it if I was. Just curious. Thanks guys.

    If its multiplayer event, unless you deliberately go into a lobby ranked below your car AND make big bets, it's really not scamming. Just the game. As it says - You don't know what's under the bonnet.
