@ "A FANDOM User":

One trick I use often is to force-close the game rather than restoring. It's quicker, and doesn't require an internet connection.

Basically, if you are in the middle of a race (or even if you've barely finished), and you now you didn't (or can't) win, you can force-close the game and restart it. You won't lose any servicing and if you used the mechanic or any other Crew Member, they will remain as well.

I use this method often and used it almost exclusively on this SE. It still takes a little time for the game to restart every time, but in my opinion, it's faster than the restore method. Plus, if, like in your case, you don't have a solid internet connection, it allows you to continue to retry without the need for restoring your game when servicing is required.
