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.

    You said 8 pm....going forward, you may want to stick to your scheduled times as well. Little hard for anyone to be on / following if they can't be certain as to when the stream will be live.

    Yeah I'd like to have a word with this guy. Scammed me of a matte white ramintra before his youtuber days started up. Im sure the comments we exchanged on youtube years back are still up. I was buying stickerbomb rims for my ramintra when he proceeded to block me after i sent the car over and 3 mil. I also had him on kik, but deleted his username after that incident. Im sure he will deny everything due to no screenshots, proof of convos, etc. Regardless of that I know who I dealt with and I talked to when doing the deal. I just want the community to learn one of their beloved racers dirty secrets. Why? Because you can't run from the truth for long.

    Well the good thing is that he actually admitted the fact that he scammed. Most people like that would deny it like our local scammers here on the forums. With him having a following and being a member of the community who is looked up to, it takes heart to admit that he screwed up and scammed.

    If he does return the Ramintra that 3 mil is getting invested into a car to be given away to the people of the forums. The Ramintra will be given to a good friend of mine who recently lost his world record tuned Ramintra, @phatboii90

    No clue how he can contact me but IPolitely is welcome to hop on the forums to hit me up about that.
