G Meter - What is the highest number generated so far?

[TrackTwit]

Must be a road going Porsche and cannot be generated as a result of a shunt!

I did a track day today in my 991 and could not quite get to 1.4g front, rear or side, late 1.3s for me. Anyone hit 1.4g or even 1.5g?

I would guess the GT3 has generated the most so far?

[F40GT346]

Managed 1.21g in my 997.1 GT3 at Silverstone, recorded on a vbox, normal track peak is around 1.1 to 1.15 without positive camber on the track.

Very curious, my aim datalogger shows my track bike generating 1.6 lateral g, I would have thought a track car would be much higher unless my readings are incorrect and I need to calibrate. Naturally I didn't read the instructions first!

Peak values aren't much use as data points. A bump can be sufficient to give you a large value there for example.
Sustained values are more significant since this dictates how quickly you can stop or corner.
The 991 GT3 achieved sustained 1.12G max during cornering in the car and driver test on the new generation of tyres. The 997 GT2RS sustained 1.07G max during cornering on the last generation of tyres.

That correlates with my experience on track with the GT3 - usual max sustained (rather than instantaneous peak) is around 1.1 to 1.15. The 1.21 at Silverstone is through turn 2 left hander after the new start finish straight and this has some positive camber at the apex that helps.

I think 1.6 on a bike is extremely unlikely give you have no aero helping stick you to the surface.

Saw a sustained 1.15 during Chris' roundabout test after set-up at CG. Then this after a track day at Knockhill. Maybe instantaneous, who knows, didn't realise it had been logged until a few days later as had the TPM on screen during the day.

very odd, i just looked on my laptop for my bike trace, gps lat acc shows highest value of 1.6g brands (druids) and 1.29 for donington (craner) with gps braking showing max 1.04 and acceleration .94. Assume the calculation must be different from yours but makes no odds either way, was just curious why the difference, sorry for hijack.

Reset before Snett on Wednesday this week.

You guys are doing this wrong.

Us air cooled sandle wearing types take children out on track for 5 laps then return to the pits.

On arrival, the child falls out of the car and then we measure the projection of the vomit.

My record is 1.97 metres. Thats fast.
