What does G mean in racing?
The letter "G" in racing stands for "Gravity." In motor racing, it is used to describe the force of gravity that affects a vehicle when it is in motion. It is also used to measure the performance of a driver's car over a period of time. G-force is measured in "Gs," which stands for "units of acceleration." G-forces can be positive (accelerating) or negative (braking) and can affect a driver's performance. High G-forces can cause fatigue and can even lead to blackouts. Understanding G-force and the effects it has on a driver is an important part of motor racing.
