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.
Reminder! Race the Devs II is tomorrow!

The 24 hour Turf War started about 45 minutes ago. Which is 12am GMT or for me here in Long Beach, CA, 5pm PDT I used this (http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/)
That event is Scion only.
Tomorrow the Devs and I will be in the racing lobbies from 6pm GMT to 11pm GMT or for me in Long Beach, from 11am to 4pm PDT. Again, you can use that link to find out what time it is in your neck of the woods.
