How can you tell if the reading is for left turn or right turn?

I don't think you can. It oply recalls the maximum reading since the ignition was turned on.

I've had three C6's since right after they came out. I told myself early on that I would not have the G meter up on my HUD. Trying for a new record through every turn sounds like a good way to wind up in a ditch - or worse. So I have no idea what the greatest G's I've turned is.

Seems to me that's blackout territory even in a "g" suit.

Nannies?

Good idea. A good instructor will explain a lot more about the physics that you will get here. It's more complicated than it seems and not all that intuitive.

Nannies = Active Handling and Traction Control. They may slow you down just a little overall but they get you through the corners at higher Gs and could easily save you from a repair bill if not more. Once you turn pro then you can turn them off for the small decrease in total lap time.

I saw 1.2 G durring my high performance training at Spring Mountain. This was in a standard Corvette with the Z-51 option. This was noted with the recall feature, I could not tell you where on the circuit this happened, to busy driving.
