We need preset upgrade profiles for different weather conditions in career mode

Sakura_TR12 (PH) Xp: 28372
Hey everyone, I have a quality of life suggestion that I think would save us all a lot of time between career matches. Right now, whenever we queue up for a race, we have to manually adjust our upgrades depending on the track and weather. If I just finished a sunny run on Skyline with a max engine and nitro setup, and the next career race is a snow storm on Switchback, I have to spend a couple of minutes downgrading my engine and dumping everything into tires just so I do not slide off the hairpins.

It would be amazing if the developers could add a basic "upgrade presets" or "loadouts" feature in the garage. We could have three customizable slots where we save our configurations. For example, Slot 1 could be "Dry Speed" for sunny Overpass or Skyline, Slot 2 could be "Wet Grip" for rain and fog, and Slot 3 could be "Snow Max" with heavy tires and balanced engine.

Since this is a browser game, keeping UI clean is key, but even just a simple dropdown menu next to the "Ready" button in the career lobby would make a massive difference. What do you guys think? Would this make switching between weather setups less tedious, or do you prefer manually tuning before every single race?

Would you want these presets to automatically load based on the pre-race weather forecast, or should we still have to manually select the profile ourselves in the lobby?

Having to manually swap from a high-speed dry tarmac build to a wet weather or snow setup before every career race is so tedious. Your suggestion for preset upgrade profiles is spot on. I would love to just click a Rain or Snow preset and jump straight into the action on Switchback instead of spending five minutes in the menus every time.

Having to rebuild your entire build just because of a sudden rainstorm is exhausting. To add to your point, we should also be able to map these presets to a quick-load button right on the pre-race screen so we don't even have to enter the garage.

This would be a massive time saver. I hate spending several minutes in the garage switching from asphalt to snow tires and suspension just because the weather changed. Having quick presets for rain, snow, and dry climates would keep us on the track and out of the menus. Hopefully the devs see this and implement it soon.

Absolutely, the menu navigation before every career race is tedious. We should also be able to name these presets like 'Wet Grip' or 'Snow Drift' and have the game auto-recommend the matching profile based on the track forecast during the loading screen.

What, you don't enjoy sliding off the side of Switchback because you brought dry-track slicks to a blizzard? Where is your sense of adventure? But seriously, my thumb is tired of swapping parts. This would save us all from accidentally entering a snow storm with a rocket ship build.

I understand where you are coming from, but I actually enjoy the manual preparation phase. Tweaking upgrades for a snowy Switchback run or adjusting the engine for Skyline is a big part of the pre-race strategy. If we automate this with presets, we lose that tactical immersion that makes career mode feel rewarding.

Having to manually swap every single part from a dry speed build to a snow grip build before every race is so tedious. Preset slots for weather would be an absolute lifesaver for career mode flow. I really hope the devs see this and implement it in the next update.
