Abstract-This paper examines the possibilities of implementing cloud telemetry systems for the Baja buggies, putting an emphasis on improvement of data capture, processing and dissemination in the course of competitive off-road racing. Given that Baja racing requires high performance vehicles operating under very hostile environments, then the benefits that region using cloud telemetry suffice. Key performance parameters like time to complete along with many other parameters including speed, engine temperature, fuel amount and suspension dynamics are continuously obtained by fusing different types of sensors such as IR sensors for RPM, accelerometers for dynamic measurement of the vehicle. The data coming from these sensors can be sent to a cloud platform in real time to make better decisions for the future operations. This helps to enhance vehicle performance and tactics of the battle in real time, thus winning the contesting teams. The paper presents the operational stands of the architecture of the cloud telemetry system while indicating the ways through which the data is collected, the way it is transmitted and the route it takes and the way the data is represented. Such issues as data transfer delays, difficulties in connectivity in remote parts of the world and risks of the data have been tackled as well.
