Hey hey, Racing Rivals update 5.0 is now live and by now everyone playing should have been forced to update.
As I said in my previous blog post, 5.0 is the beginning of our new strategy in combating players who are trying to manipulate the game for unfair advantages. Will this wipe out any and all methods one may try? Probably not. If there was a permanent solution for “hackers” many companies wouldn’t still be spending lots of money for finding ways to stop hacking. It really is a never ending battle. All we can do is fight it in the best way we know how.
So what else is in this update?We have prohibited the ability to have “extra” parts installed on your car. In other words, you should not be able to install both a supercharger and turbo.
If your opponent disconnects, you will be warned, followed by a countdown once your opponent reconnects. While we cannot stop light lag, we make it easier for you to be prepared if a player reconnects.
New customization options
- We have added a headlight color customization option and a new kind of paint, metallic flake!
Betting Preferences
- Now you can let your fellow racers know that you prefer to only bet for cash or only for pinks!
New Tournament Improvements
- You can now enter with either 4 or 8 players, so you shouldn’t have to wait as long for races to begin!
- Be matched up with similar performing racers. Similar to turf lobbies, you can now race with similar skilled racers.
- Chat with your fellow racers in the Tournament lobby
!
We’re not done for the year. We have many things planned for the game, some small and some friggin’ huge! I, myself, cannot wait until I can share them with you.
Until next time, Race on!

Any chance of getting any of the old crate wheels back in the crate? The first place wheels, I used to spend A LOT on crates to get wheels and matte paints. But when you mainly get a "turf eligible" car out of a 10 pack, it really sucks. Especially if it's not even a good car, or one you wouldn't want to use in turf.
I LOVE opening crates, it's a really bad habit. But with the current wheels, and bad cars you get I refuse to buy them. I used to buy $19.99 gems, then the $49.99 and buy crates..

As for first place wheels, not sure. For now we don't want to put them in crates to make those that exist more valuable to the people that have them... but maybe as time goes on
As for crates themselves, we're playing with some ideas for maybe adding more crates that are more specialized.

33 crate. 2 green light. 4 purp glow. Rest cars and not enough prints to finish one single car. Come on!
GLUU keeps missing on earnings, they're a public company. If you expect this to change.. Haha. Good luck.
