The telemetry is a gameplay feature in the Forza series that records and displays data about the car the player is currently driving.
Telemetry can be accessed by pressing down on the D-pad on the Xbox controller in the Forza Motorsport games, while in the Forza Horizon games, holding down on the D-pad accesses the telemetry except if ANNA can instead be accessed via pressing down on the D-pad. While in the telemetry, the D-pad can be used to switch pages or exit telemetry. On PC, telemetry is accessed by pressing the Esc button on the keyboard.
