===Motor racing=== Telemetry is a key factor in modern motor racing, allowing race engineers to interpret data collected during a test or race and use it to properly tune the car for optimum performance. Systems used in series such as [[Formula One]] have become advanced to the point where the potential lap time of the car can be calculated, and this time is what the driver is expected to meet. Examples of measurements on a race car include accelerations ([[g-force|G forces]]) in three axes, temperature readings, wheel speed, and suspension displacement. In Formula One, driver input is also recorded so the team can assess driver performance and (in case of an accident) the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] can determine or rule out driver error as a possible cause. Later developments include two-way telemetry which allows engineers to update calibrations on the car in real time (even while it is out on the track). In Formula One, two-way telemetry surfaced in the early 1990s and consisted of a message display on the dashboard which the team could update. Its development continued until May 2001, when it was first allowed on the cars. By 2002, teams were able to change engine mapping and deactivate engine sensors from the pit while the car was on the track.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} For the 2003 season, the FIA banned two-way telemetry from Formula One;<ref>{{cite web|title=FIA makes massive changes to F1; several technological enhancements banned|url=https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2093556/fia-makes-massive-changes-f1-several-technological-enhancements-banned/|date=January 14, 2003|publisher=Autoweek|access-date=December 29, 2022}}</ref> however, the technology may be used in other types of racing or on road cars. One way telemetry system has also been applied in [[Radio-controlled car|R/C racing car]] to get information by car's sensors like: engine RPM, voltage, temperatures, throttle.
