Short and sweet. Forza could really benefit from these.
Vague topic about how vague of a topic Telemetry is to explain?
Google Telemetry my friend… If you finish reading before your grandkids graduate College, post here… I will check it.

The game doesn’t have tutorials for anything, so don’t hold out any hope for a telemetry guide.

Telemetry is just data.
There is actually no way a tutorial could be created for telemetry itself… You could create a tutorial for the interpretation/analysis of the telemetry data; if this is what you meant, best to look to the Internet, as others above have said. There is endless information on the subject.
In my opinion, you need to be an engineer and a race team crew chief to totally comprehend all of the telemetry data and how each bit of data affects and is affected by other data points.
I mainly focus on engine power band data, because I want to keep the car producing maximum useable power at (before and after) shift points. I also monitor tire data (temps, wear and heat) to try and maintain the best grip and speed evenly. The tires get real tricky because they are affected by suspension, steering alignment (caster/camber/toe in/toe out), anti roll bars, braking and downforce. These settings may never reach critical levels in races under 10 laps, but they can if they are too far out of whack, and having them tuned well can really help lap times. It’s a balancing act.
I still have not figured out the lateral G’s, which are apparently very important too. I’m trying to learn them all one at a time and it’s only taken me about 5 years to know almost nothing at all. LOL.
Peace
Your best option, is to work the Maze backwards. Start at the exit, and work your way backwards.
Live Telemetry, is just a active graph of what is happening. Obviously you need to know what you are graphing, and what you can change to effect the graph.
The best option is to watch a replay, pay attention to the Telemetry that you have chosen for the entire lap.
For the most part, Forza explains things in a green/Yellow/RED fashion. Green meaning you are in your key tune limits, Yellow means you are slightly exceeding you GOAL areas, and Red means that you have likely exceeded the limit you created.
Suspension is a VERY easy thing to understand, how it effects Everything… is not easy to understand. Knowing that you are taking a corner in the RED, Likely means you have reached the limit of your springs. If it is just 1 wheel, make a stiffness correction, and try again. Still in the Red, Make a Ride Height Adjustment. Still in the Red, make a Camber Adjustment… etc.
The whole reason a Suspension could fail, is maybe you threw in a SuperCharger, or added too much downforce to the Front wheels.
Creating a tutorial for how to use Telemetry, would require you to request the exact telemetry you need a tutorial on.
Effectively, This topic states, I FAILED LIFE, NEED TUTOR. Unless you explain what you need help with, there is simply nobody within reason that can explain it to you.
Forget the fact that you probably want to have kids some day and raise them to be good adults… You simply can’t just learn telemetry now… its not like making pancakes.
Telemetry is difficult, it took me a fair few months to understand and apply the data to the tuning area. Sadly, T10 doesn’t offer tutorials on the area, but I fear they’d be so vast in information that some people would just melt and stop watching - like those classes in school which were so detail-rich that you just said ‘sod it, no more’ and glazed over a bit.
You need to use the Google, and there are some pretty decent tutorials out there - it’s where I got my info from
