Rivals - allow to adjust TOD and weather

Suggestion to allow adjustable TOD and weather for class based rivals. There would be a visual change only not to affect track conditions such as temperature. Weather could be adjustable from dry variants only so there’s no wet surface variant (there could be separate rivals leaderboards for wet weather though, like in FM7).

This would provide some visual diversity for players who prefer long rivals sessions. Hotlapping always at 3PM with ‘partly cloudy’ weather gets monotonous very fast. It would be also great to be able to have time progression to enhance the immersion of actually spending the time at the track.

How would the leader boards work for a tod and weather transition?

430pm, dry to light rain?

Overly complicating things imo.

Rivals as is is at least consistent for anyone who wants to lap any track in a given car. The car and tune and driver are the differentiating factors

Leaderboards would not be affected by that change. Weather would be selectable only from dry variants.
