I am not up to 7.1, but wanted to respond to two comments about what to do with a challenge that you only realize you will not win once you have already run your car down to the point of needing to be serviced.

The first comment expressed frustration with the situation and the response discussed hiring the engineer to maintain the car as you are basically guaranteed to at least win the race. My suggestion to both players is to consider shutting the game before you have finished the race and reopening it. At least on my iphone this returns my car to the state it was in before I started the race (i.e., no wear and tear and no wasted engineers for races I "win" but have to run again because I still did not achieve the goal). If you want to select the engineer anyway because you don't want to have to reservice as quickly, this strategy still works. Shutting the game and reentering it after you have hired the engineer (or manager or agent) will leave them showing as hired and not require additional payment (unlike if you retire from a match for which they were hired).

Unless this is against your sense of fair play, it is a very efficient way for managing some of the hassles of dealing with a race or challenge that you need a few (or more than a few) tries to master.
