Formula One drivers usually experience 5 g while braking, 2 g while accelerating, and 4 to 6 g while cornering. Every Formula One car has an ADR (Accident Data Recovery) device installed, which records speed and g-force. According to the FIA, Robert Kubica of BMW Sauber experienced 75 g during his 2007 Canadian Grand Prix crash.

i have heard that indi car race drivers experience a max of 4 g and they get unconcious.and i think it is 7.5gnot 75g.but 7.5g in a race car is something out of my understanding.max speed of car cannot excced 400 max.and they dont turn at angles less than 90 or even 110 dgeree.so how could g become 7.5 in a grand prix.i dont belive it.

[kashgurkha]

i wonder how your penis would feel at 9g lol i wanna do that someday

[africanhi]

that information is incorrect. On top of that, when you sneeze or cough, it is only for a split second and does not affect the entire human body.

And in a racecar, the axis on which you experience g forces are different. vertical g forces (like those experienced in a plane) are the most taxing on the human body and require the most strength to over come

75 Gs?! You are absolutely full of it. At that amount your heart would explode

[TheChubbo55]

Disliked because weight is not measure in kilograms, that's mass. His weight would be 600N at 1G. Stupid program...

[tal0976]

@MalaysianTiger2007 but those g's are being pulled on the horizontal axis, NOT the vertical therefore not being able to create blackouts/redouts

[jestermoua]

@africanhi 75g in a crash is possible. 25 foot drop on to cement, your body can experience up to 60g(thanks Mythbusters) Just imagine how much faster a race car hits a wall

[jestermoua]

@madmananarchist Dale Earnhardt Jr. a NASCAR driver went on a ride with the a Blue Angels pilot, think they pulled 7 or 8 g's. He did fine.

[intruderalert01]

Redout if far more dangerous. In this situation, gravity forces the blood into your head. A prolonged exposure to this situation will cause your brain and/or eye vessels to burst. In other words, redout can make you blind or kill you. Both these situations happen due to a force called centrifugal force, that pulls moving objects in a vector contrary to their current movement. It's because of this force that when you're driving, turning left will pull your body to the right and vice-versa :)

[intruderalert01]

While race pilots experience G's only in the X axis, fighter pilots suffer G's from all axis (X, Y and Z), since they perform maneuvers that cover all spacial dimension, thus subjecting the pilot to G-LOC. This condition is also known as "blackout" or "redout", depending if the aircraft is climbing or descending. Blackout pulls the blood out of your head, leaving you unconscious.

@africanhi

Robert Kubica had a crash where he experienced 75Gs, but its only for a split second, so he didnt die =)

[1nightmaremike]

what would happen to a chicks boobs at 9g??

[madmananarchist]

@MalaysianTiger2007 The Gs that F1 drivers experience are completely different than those of fighter pilots. Fight pilots experience vertical Gs which draw blood away from the brain, causing them to black out. F1 drivers experience lateral Gs which do nothing to draw blood away from the brain, making it easy to maintain consciousness. Stick an F1 driver in a fighter jet and he'll black right out.

@africanhi exacly, the human body can suffer 17 horizontal Gs just like it would be 5 vertical Gs
