Telemetry data is also used extensively for post-race analysis, providing teams with a wealth of information on their car’s performance and the performance of their drivers. By analyzing telemetry data, teams can identify areas where a driver can improve their performance, develop strategies for future races, and evaluate new components and configurations in a controlled environment before implementing them in a race.
In this chapter we are going to compare the telemetry data of two drivers creating a plot of these variables: Speed, RPM, Gear, Throttle and Brake.
