ABSTRACT
Motorsport is a branch of the automotive industry that requires constant research and testing to gain
a competitive edge. A small change in a vehicle's suspension settings or engine management can make the difference between winning and losing in a particular competition. In order to ensure success, the vehicle is often pushed to its limits, however, while maintaining driver’s safety, all with the option of using vehicle telemetry, which collects, transmits and analyses vehicle data during and after driving. Operational parameters measured in real time are analyzed for future corrections and improvements. This paper presents an analysis of telemetry testing, of an electric motorbike, related to energy consumption, power output, torque and thermal conditions to improve the efficiency of the drivetrain on the Aragón circuit in Spain at the MotoStudent competition. The article also demonstrates how to validate the values of individual parameters obtained during calculations and simulations, as well as the impact of minor changes on these parameters. It also describes how telemetry helps in assessing the skills of drivers.
