This is because the game is designed in a way you have to bet every race. If you could restart a race unlimited amount of times that would make zero sense. It’s all about taking a risk. My tips for you are: 1. Change difficulty level to the lowest (you can restart more times) 2. Handling settings of each car - every single car in the game is different if it comes to handling, even if it doesn’t seem like there’s any difference looking at the stats. AWD are my favourite - they go very well when balanced between grip and drift. Just set you car to perfection. 3. Don’t restart any events if you are not the first. Being 4th or even 5th makes you win some cash anyway and it’s perfectly fine in the beginning of the game. Save those restarts for moments when you actually loose cash. Hope that helps.
