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.

    How does one enter a lobby lower than what they are rated at? I am a newsr player with a Charger rated at 1648 and will face people ratted 1665+ sometimes. I though when you entered Multi it placed you with similiar rated cars.

    Mirror accounts are a strategy? Misleads people to believe they are racing one car when switching to another is a strategy alright, for the weak.

    It all comes down to this. Multiplayer lobbies, are OPEN LOBBIES. Just like in real life drag racing, as long as it isn't an official bracket event, anyone can bring any car they want. It is YOUR responsibility to check out your opponents car before you bet them, because they could be in anything. That's not scamming, as the same thing happens in real life. If you want races against like performance cars to yours, go to tournament, turf, or showdown. that's what they are there for. lastly, as a few others said, its a video game. mirror accounts, in this particular game, are a valid strategy. If you don't like it, don't race them. no one is forcing you to race. Bottom line is, in open mp lobbies, its your own fault you lose because you didn't research your opponent beforehand. 'Nuff said, rant over >.>

    Not really, If it were "open" they could legit go in, instead they have to piggyback slower (friended) cars. If i had a say, in who my friends were, this might not happen too much. Instead i have to clen out my friend box 5 times a day and deal with trash talk till i can iggy them. And GLU wonders, why we don't coin much anymore?

    Here is the thing. The cheaters are detrimental to glue bottom line. When people come in and get burnt as noobs, after buying Thier car for 2 bucks, only to lose it by some jerk doing this cause he has no morals, they quit. You get no revenue. They get burnt, say screw that game, don't come back.

    The only time I get cheated now is by light lagger, I mean I know it's impossible to fix smh. But it's really not is it. Someone loses connection for a military sec, return them both to lobby to try again. If it happens again, return them to lobby.

    Most people who play this are on wifi. If Thier connection sucks and they can't get a eave, maybe it's not the game for them
