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.

Game automatically closes after races

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy s7, and sporadically my game will close itself as soon as I cross the finish line.

This is rather frustrating. Figured I'd post it here in case others are having same issues.

    Hello there! You aren't the only one experiencing this. It's being looked into at this time. Unfortunately, I don't have any further information than that at this time.

    Same issue here I though it was just Pinks or Cash races but game it's even crashing on Drivers challenges and just by going through my Garage. Is the amount of cars have an something to do with it?

    @SpeedTrapp Can you advise as to your device make and model, what version of android you are running, your in-game name, and if you are receiving any error messages?

    When you say crashing - do you mean the game is simply minimizing (similar to what happens when you intentionally close the game window by hitting the home button), or is the game completely closing (similar to when you hit home button, then the double square looking button, and then swiping up on the game window)?

    Same issue as speed, same phone s7........actually myself and 2 teammates. Screen goes blank and you are back at home screen like you closed the app. Didn't have the issue while building cars for turf, just during a race.

    Issue can be reproduced easily. Yes I have uninstalled the game completely and reinstalled it.

    Grab a Galaxy S7, race a few normal races, then do a pinks race. During that pinks race right at the end of the race the game closes and you are back at your phone's home screen.

    At this point you got no idea if you lost your car or won another car. Open the game and you find your surprise. What a joke this game has become.

    I've posted on a few of the other threads.



    Game still closes sporadically, but less frequently.

    It closed after races, and then when I try to restart, it'll begin loading, and then close again... usually have to try to re-open like 3 to 5 times before it actually loads.

    I haven't had a crash yet, however I haven't really been running hard either

    Still closing randomly. Not near as often as before. Then game doesn't want to open right away due to stalling.
    I just did latest update today to bring Game up to 6.2.0.0069. I'll see how it works. Can't test in showdown apparently. ...
