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.

No, I really did. Y'all had my hopes way up in the sky, and I was sent crashing down. So here are the errors that I have observed:
1) I still struggle to connect to anyone unless I'm on WiFi. Even all 5 bars on 4G/LTE (which runs all my other internet connection required apps very well,) does not let me consistently connect to players. Time outs, etc.
2) Still can't follow everyone into rooms.
3) Still get put into rooms with cars in higher classes.
New Issues:
4) Now if I can't refresh rooms into a different room, (becuase again, this game is only stable on WiFi,) it stays stuck on the turning circle and I have to restart the app. The room swap never times out anymore.
5) Not really an issue, but we can't watch replays anymore? This was one of the cooler features. Why are you taking features away from us?
6) S class cars getting rated 1671 and A class cars getting rated 1666?
Maybe I'm stupid for thinking that things will eventually get fixed, and honestly, I don't believe it anymore. I just don't buy it when you say things will get fixed. A lot of people pulled me out of selling my account, and I'm only here at this point for my friends and to try gettinh just a little bit of enjoyment out of the game. If it wasn't for them, you would lose one of your bigger players and supporters of your game.

Im sorry you think we never fix anything. Your wrong, but im sorry you think that. We will continue to fix everything that we can as fast as we can, just as I will continue to help you guys as much as possible. I'd appreciate it if you give me the same patience and respect I give you.
I'm the latest version of iOS 7, iPhone 5S, AT&T
My friends ARE in rooms and it sends me to a different room. I'm not the only one with this issue.
R/S class cars that run 8.1 and faster should not be in a room where I go with my maxed A class cars. Vice versa for R class cars running faster than 7.7 against S class cars.
Does that make any sense, regarding the rooms?
