F1 Telemetry

[mraormk]

Hello -

Like the rest of you - I'm interested in the technical side of F1. However, it seems this site focuses mainly on aerodynamic and engine design, whereas I like the telemetry/data acquision side of things within a modern F1 team. I understand McLaren/Mercedes is perhaps the team with the highest level of technology when it comes to this aspect of motorsports.

I know how top-secret F1 can be - but does anyone know of good resources to learn more about this topic (preferably focusing on today's teams - not so much a history of it)

Thanks!!!

In terms of data logging most of the suppliers wil provide loads of info (i.e. http://www.piresearch.com/).

As far as control systems go you wont find hardly any info anywhere.

Towards the end of last season, Renault had a fantastic video of just how telemetry was being used within their team. Not sure if it's stil there, but worth a look.
