Simple Tampermonkey script to track your engine and tire stats in career mode

Diablo_21 (PE) Xp: 13998
Hey everyone, I wanted to share a little quality-of-life mod I have been working on for RacingGame over the past couple of weeks. As we all know, trying to calculate the exact grip loss on Switchback during snow or Overpass in heavy fog can be a total guessing game, especially when you are trying to balance your engine power against your tire level.

To make things easier, I wrote a simple Tampermonkey user script that adds a telemetry overlay directly onto the race HUD. It pulls the current weather data from the page and calculates your theoretical grip percentage based on your current tire upgrade level. I also added a small nitro tracker that shows the exact duration of your boost in milliseconds, which has been super helpful for timing my nitro runs on Skyline.

It is purely client-side, so it does not interfere with the game servers or break any career mode rules. It just takes the data already available on your screen and formats it into a neat little box in the top-right corner. It has really helped me stop wasting cash on the wrong engine upgrades when my tires clearly could not handle the wet tracks.

If you want to try it out, I have uploaded the code to GreasyFork under the name RacingGame UI Enhancer. You just need the Tampermonkey extension to run it. Let me know if you run into any bugs or have suggestions for other stats to track, like maybe a weather transition timer. Happy racing!

This is exactly what I needed. Managing tire wear on Overpass in the heavy fog has ruined so many of my career runs. I would love to see if you can add a feature to track the engine's thermal threshold too, so we can see exactly when the radiator is about to fail on those long Switchback climbs.

Does this script display the real-time grip calculation as an overlay during the race, or is it just for the garage menu between stages on Overpass and Switchback?

So you're saying I can't blame my terrible Switchback runs on unpredictable snow anymore? Thanks for ruining my favorite excuse. In all seriousness, my tires are going to thank you the next time I get blinded by the fog on Overpass.

Finally, someone solved the Switchback snow headache! Trying to eyeball tire degradation while managing engine heat there was an absolute nightmare. This script is going to save my career mode run. Thank you so much for putting this together!

Does this script read the telemetry data in real-time while we are on the track, or does it only update the engine and tire stats on the career menu between races? I would love to have this running during those brutal snow runs on Switchback.

Wait, you mean I actually have to pay attention to my tire wear now instead of just flooring it through the Switchback snow and praying? You are taking all the chaotic energy out of my career mode! Seriously though, my virtual pit crew thanks you for saving their engines from my terrible mental math. Trying this tonight.

So you are telling me I can no longer blame my terrible spin-outs on Overpass on invisible fog physics? You are taking away my favorite excuse! In all seriousness, my engine is definitely going to thank you for this before it blows up on Switchback again.

Finally, someone solved the Switchback snow headache. I tried your script on Overpass last night and it saved my engine from blowing on lap 4. It would be awesome if we could add a simple color-coded alert for when tire grip drops below 20%, especially for those blind fog corners.

Finally, a solution for the Switchback snow runs. I always end up blowing my engine there because I misjudge the grip loss. I will test this tonight to see if we can also use the telemetry data to predict optimal pit stop windows during the longer career endurance races. Thanks for putting this together.

Does this script display the telemetry in real-time while we are on the track, or is it only for the garage and setup screens? I would love to use this to adjust my engine mapping on the fly during those messy snow runs on Switchback.

Does this script display the grip loss in real-time while we are driving on Switchback, or do we have to check the stats in the career menu between sessions?

So you are telling me I can no longer blame my terrible spins on Switchback snow on bad game physics? Some of us actually enjoy the thrill of accidentally blowing up our engines, thank you very much! In all seriousness, this is going to save my career mode tires.
