Bi-directional telemetry in racing cars. Just imagine, who wants to outsmart you? Competitors, bookies, publicity-seekers. How much they can gain? A lot. What can they do? Spy on telemetric data in order to improve own design, hijack the session and control the car, jam the communication so that the team cannot get the data from the car. Infinity and beyond! This has always been a domain of SIGINT and COMSEC experts. Wil car racing become an information warfare?
