User blog comment:Quiksilvr/The date-time synchronisation error and what you can do about it/@comment-28548945-20160709052740

pretty sure step 3 is not necessary. after being offline a while, simply going online (no force close) should get the game to do a time sync. if it isn't sync-ing, all I do is press the power button (to shut the screen off) and press it again (to turn screen back on). after unlocking the device, the game does a time sync.

also, it doesn't matter how many mechiancs you have, you can race as many cars as you like and even pair the ones with similar servicing times (if you only have 2 mechanics like me) allowing you to maximize your mechanics better.
