Imagine this. A driver roaring around a circuit at 200 mph, pulling more G forces than a fighter pilot. He notices his F1 car loses power momentarily at the same point on the circuit during each of the laps he’s completed so far. Luckily for our driver, high speed data telemetry is pouring out of the car, detailing thousands of metrics on anything...
