There's other ways to deal with multiple failures then servicing. I use these in every special event so hopefully they'll help you in the future.

(1) I make sure to do a cloud save after every single stage. Then if I have a hard stage that takes a lot of attempts I just do a cloud restore once my car gets in the red. I lose any R$ & fame I won, but at that point I only care about passing the stage. If it was a time trial that cost you some of your tries, you also get them back this way.

(2) There's another trick that I use, that is to just crash the game. This especially works nice if you hired any of the crew. If I know I'm going to fail the stage then I crash it before I finish the race. When I restart the game whatever crew I hired is still hired, I haven't lost anything. My car will also show no wear on it. It is literally like I never ran the race. When it comes to stages where you have no off-track or something like that where you could get a red banner, you need to crash the game as soon as you see that red banner, preferably before. Sometimes it doesn't work if you're a bit late. I also use this method in my 10 lap Le Mans races when I mess up and crash on lap one.

For something short like a speed snap or a short track I use method (1). I used methods (2) when figuring out the long Le Mans races during this event.
