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.
Reports of players abusing the tournaments have been coming in. We’re working on fixing it but it’s not as simple as pressing a button. So while we’re working it out, we’re keeping an eye out for these dastardly players and kicking them off the track for a week. Cheats and exploits have consequences, you WILL get banned.
Race on and keep it legit!

> @[RR] Prodigal Grim is the charger se that runs faster than it should, thru no fault of ours, considered an exploit??
People shouldn't abuse it also it's a glitch people use to automatically let them when you race you beat them but end up with a DNF at the end

As for the buy back on the vehicle, that is also something they had been discussing. We all know to buy back a max civic is stupid because you can build one for way less then what it would cost you to buy one back if you lost one in slips. The value of a vehicle is a formula that has been the same for ages so for you to turn around and bitch about it now is stupid. Carbonated didn't create it they just haven't gotten around to fixing it.
Giving out your cars will be your call and not theirs. To me doing that would be stupid because once all the issues are fixed you will come crawling back. Especially if you think that CSR with their
NEGATIVE TIME RUNS (people can run sub 0 second runs and win without you ever having a chance.)
will provide you with a better experience. They don't even have pink slips on that game.

> Everyone wondering in the game are we ever going to get the t4 tournaments aging and if not what will replace it to help us get money not everyone can just go out and win every race to get some cash
@theghost911 you are quite contradictive. In tournaments you need to win just the same unless .......

> Days Ago I was racing a Tournament, when it starts the "countdown screen" appears and then back to the matches screen, I start a chat then in the background the race was started, I closed the chat and the matches screen appears again, back to chat and the race has finished showing a DNF for me. Next time that thing happened to me I race in the chat screen.
