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.

Is more like regional chat. Have it opened on three different devices , not only can I not see what I typed on my other devices, I have a completely different group of people talking on each. It's a stupid idea. It's not even global, plus the the lobbies still don't rotate. The use of talking to people if you can't race them. We need much less talking and a lot more racing. This is RACING RIVALS , not drag with friends. This game is built of pink slips. Pink slips is the only reason this game is better than all others. Lets. focus on them slips.

    From what I was hearing the "global" chat is really just the "server" community that you would be bunched with during turf. I can't verify this because I don't sway from mostly max rating lobbies but people who are tuned racers who go up and down between lobbies have said it's nothing but people from their common lobbies.

    Its unnecessary add-on if you ask me ....
    Most of the time people are cursing each other without any reason...
    And its totally annoying..

    It's something that they are exploring maybe even having an on and off switch for it. Wish we had an on and off switch for people adding us to messengers though -.-

    I purge my friends list every night for this reason. I don't want friends, I don't want people to be able to just add me. I hate random messages I usually curse them then block them. Again this is RACING RIVALS. Not drag with friends. I'm not here to chat. I'm here to take your garage.

    I've often wondered, how are we grouped for turf ? I mean surly there has to be more then 2 lobbies running per class. Sometimes I'm in the same lobby as a friend, other times I've tried knowing they are in say a 56 lobby, but as I refresh I only cycle through 2 different ones. Any means behind the madness or is it based off of SC or something?

    @GOFastGarage when you start your ign you are sent to a certain server. Once tied to that server you are stuck with those racers for life. It's a very easy fix that just haven't happened. Basically we are server locked. This to me only allows SELF CRUSHING. If the lobbies rotated it would be impossible to self crush. Now I can just make multiple accounts till they link up.
