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.

Hello fellow racers!
A few days ago we quietly pushed out a fix to deal with the speed hack cheating around pink slip races and people losing their cars due to this. After careful monitoring over the last few days, we are no longer seeing any invalid races. It’s entirely possible there will still be some edge cases and other parameters that could cause this that we’re not aware of – we’re still on the hunt.
I realize we’re normally pretty quiet about our cheat fixing efforts other than “we’re looking into it” but due to the large volume of people messaging us about it, we though a more official announcement would be appropriate in this case.
We are always looking to create the safest & cheat free environment for our players and greatly appreciate all of you who continue to go above and beyond to help us track down these issues.
If you feel like you are still seeing this issue, please contact customer service so we can investigate on a case by case basis.
Happy Holidays to all of you!

So, yes, the "hack" is out there, but it is ineffective.
