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.

The asshole fouled and the result turns out to be he won, and my time was DNF. My evo 8 is fully maxxed and he has a f**king type R. I hope your guys do something about it, cause pink slips is the only fun in this game and those hackers are ruinned it by using glitches to take my cars.

It happened around 8:15pm EST
I was in a lobby racing with a friend and he joined and had added himself to my friends list. I checked his garage at that time and seen his cars specs and tried to race him for pinks and he declined twice and left the lobby.
I then left and went into another track/lobby to race with a different friend (slower room, I don't know the track numbers) and as soon as I made it into the room I got a race invite from him. I accepted and went for pinks. The timer went down really far before it finally went. I hit off the line at around .80 and got all perfect shifts. Just as he crossed the finish line I got a error message and my game shut down. when I loaded the game back up, the car was gone. I checked the player really quick and he had my car, and his single GTR. Our cars were close in power, but I was still faster and he outweighed me by nearly 1300lbs!! Even if he was running a gem boost LIKE I WAS, there is no way he would have won that race, unless I completely just gave it to him which I didn't!
Yesterday - I didn't lose my car, but I should have won a RX8 and didn't.

I took this guy off the line, perfect shifts all the way. I had crossed the line and once the game started loading and sending the results to the server it almost froze up then came back and said there was an error and the race was a tie. I was already across the finish line!
I had used a gem boost too, So Not only did I lose my Gem Boost and not win the car, when I got back into the lobby this guy just says, don't worry I'll do it again.
Of course, I would like to have the car that I should have won, but I really just want my damn Nismo back!
EDIT: I just looked this guy up again in game and it should be noted that when he was on my friends list, he was a lvl 35 and had something like 6 cars! I just looked him up and he's a 160 with 154 cars, but the GT-R that I raced is still in his garage with the same specs I listed above and he has my Nismo
