Ferrari Telemetry is an app developed exclusively for Ferrari clients that have installed the optional Ferrari Telemetry system on their car. Once they have downloaded the sessions recorded by the telemetry CPU using Wi-Fi, they can then use the FERRARI TELEMETRY APP to do an in-depth performance analysis: - Compare hot laps – including those from different sessions; - Analyse performance at any point on the track using an array of telemetry data also adopted by the Racing Team’s track engineers (Speed, Braking, Gear-shifts, Longitudinal Acceleration, Lateral Acceleration and many more besides); - Combining the telemetry data with video data recorded by the optional Track Camera Kit to evaluate trajectories, braking points and driving technique. Also available is a CO-PILOT mode which involves the passenger in the driving experience through real-time monitoring of lapping performance. To activate the app, you will need to enter the authentication code in the Ferrari Telemetry system menu on the Ferrari in-car multimedia display.
