Everything you need to master TELOS F1 platform

Platform Overview

What is TELOS?

TELOS F1 is a professional telemetry analysis platform designed for motorsport enthusiasts, engineers, and teams to visualize and compare Formula 1 car data in real-time.

System Requirements

Modern web browser (Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+). Stable internet connection (minimum 5 Mbps) for live session streaming. No installation required.

Data Sources

Telemetry data sourced from official F1 timing feeds, FastF1 Python library, and publicly available race archives. Updated after each session within 24 hours.

Available Telemetry Channels

Data Accuracy
All telemetry data is sampled at variable frequencies depending on source. GPS position updates at ~10Hz, speed and throttle at ~50Hz. Historical data may have gaps due to broadcast limitations.

Speed & Position

Vehicle speed (km/h), GPS coordinates, track position, distance from start line, and current lap/sector. Essential for lap time analysis and track position visualization.

Throttle & Brake

Throttle position (0-100%), brake pressure (0-100%), and DRS status. Crucial for understanding driving style, braking points, and corner entry/exit technique.

Gear & RPM

Current gear (1-8), engine RPM, and gear shift timing. Analyze shift patterns, optimal rev ranges, and acceleration characteristics across different circuits.

Tire Data

Tire compound (Soft/Medium/Hard), tire age (laps), and estimated tire wear. Track degradation patterns and predict optimal pit stop windows.

Lap Times

Sector times (S1, S2, S3), lap time, personal best, delta to fastest lap, and gap to leaders. Compare performance across sessions and drivers.

Pit Stop Info

Pit in/out times, pit duration, tire changes, and fuel load estimates. Analyze pit stop strategies and understand team decisions during races.

Platform Features

Driver Comparison

Overlay telemetry from up to 4 drivers simultaneously. Compare speed traces, braking points, and racing lines. Identify performance differences in specific corners or sectors.

Ghost Lap Analysis

Compare your selected lap against reference laps using synchronized playback. Visual delta display shows time gained/lost at every point around the circuit.

Track Maps

Interactive circuit maps with telemetry overlay. Color-coded speed heatmaps, braking zone visualization, and DRS detection zones. All 24 F1 circuits supported.

Custom Charts

Create custom telemetry visualizations. Select any combination of channels, customize Y-axis ranges, and export charts as PNG for reports or presentations.

Data Export

Export telemetry data as CSV or JSON for external analysis. Includes metadata like weather conditions, track status, and session information.

Session Filters

Filter data by practice, qualifying, or race sessions. View specific laps, time ranges, or flag conditions (yellow, red, safety car). Quickly isolate relevant data.

Pro Tips

Focus on Key Corners

Identify 3-4 critical corners per track where most time is gained/lost. Study braking points, apex speed, and throttle application patterns in these zones first.

Compare Similar Laps

When comparing drivers, use laps with similar tire age, fuel load, and track conditions. Avoid comparing fresh soft tires vs worn mediums.

Track Evolution

Circuit grip improves throughout a weekend as rubber builds up. Compare early FP1 laps vs qualifying to see how track evolution affects optimal racing lines and braking zones.
