Re: Using telemetry to refine setups
I personally don't use telemetry so much, even on other simulators like rFactor, iRacing or ACC.
The reason is because, many times, you can do a good setup using telemetry, but rarely will it show any possible glitch in the setup options.
Telemetry and the good use of telemetry will help you setup how theoretically the car is supposed to be setup, or it can help you understand if you have understeer or oversteer, mechanical or aerodynamically, but more often than not, it will not make you as fast as esport players for example.
At high level of esports competition, it is important to find the "glitch" or the way of setting up a car that "exploits" the physics model of the relative simulator in use.
In F1 game especially, there aren't enough settings to really justify the use of a telemetry software for the purpose of setting up or refine a setup of the car. I would rather use the telemetry to find out where I am making driving mistakes, and try to find how others interpret the track compared to myself.
