Repair kits, take the convenience even further because players can do it mid-race or in the middle of any other activity. If players are racing withoff-road vehicles, on an off-road track, with no gas station nearby, using a repair kit can be a lifesaver. However, even though repair kits are on-demand, players should note they’re only allowed two repair kit fixes before replenishing them at a garage. On top of only getting two repairs, the repair kit doesn’t fully fix the car, so players should use it strategically.
