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.

this happens ALL THE TIME.
- In an a A class car.
- Dude in S class talking hella smack.
- Adds him to get S calss car and challenge him
- GETS REROUTED TO A DIFFERENT ROOM

It even happens with other friends on my list, i can't always join their room!!

AND you like to put max A Class cars in room with S class cars and max S class cars in room with R class and etc, and I get nothing but challenges from higher classes. I am NOT the only one who has thia issue.

    Lost my nearly maxed STI due to this. Everybody was running like 9.9-10.6 in my lobby. I challenge this guy for pinks, runs an 8.6 in a Skyline. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Got level 100's in lobby's with level 20's.

    Ya know, it's been 9 months since I started playing, and about 4 months since I stopped racing in standard lobbies because of this. My buddy here in the real world just started playing and had already gave up because every time he try's racing other people to earn cash to build up his car (he's on d class campaign) he gets challenge by vipers and evos. Not knowing any better, especially since it tells him he's being placed in "the best lobby" he raced and loses. Gets frustrated and switches to a different game. Now normally I wouldn't care, but if this is happening to him, think of all the other new players that might be quitting.. Not a good way to keep the game growing if you ask me.

    I hate being stuck in a room with bots and then each time I go to switch track it stays in the same room. Like I'm trapped.

    Have room ratings and class specific rooms, If I'm in a A class i don't want to race R OR S, I want to race A. Then if it's A vs A maxed it's up to the tune and how good the racer is.

    Yeah I completely stopped going into reg lobby's cuz say I get my 1645 civic to work on a tune there is only 4-5 other cars in there that run close to what I run. The rest is maxed r class n a class cars only looking for pinks. Just saying it's getting old.
