Not on the C7. Yes, you can on a C6.

Absolutely!!! But MUCH better than with the C6!!!

Just review your PDR video and you can see the G's displayed in the bottom left of the video - but the outer diameter of that circle is only 1.25 G's, like you can see below:





So...even better is to open the PDR in Cosworth Toolbox and you can view G's a couple of ways.

One way is to check your "Stats/Laps" and you can see the max G pulled in each lap - but you don't know which corner it was in, or what you did in other corners:





And even better than that is to check each corner in "Corners/Data" to see exactly what G's you're pulling in each turn:





Bottom line - LOTS of great info in your PDR videos of your track sessions, and lateral G's are just one of the points of data you can view on the video and with Cosworth Toolbox!!

I don't have PDR

and why the hell can't you recall it? If I'm over even 0.5G's, I'm looking at the road.

Wow!! I thought anybody who might be interested in data-acquisition in a C7 would definitely get a PDR!! I know it was sure one of the must-have options I ordered in my C7!!

I don't want to run the PDR just in case I'd like to know the G I pulled around an isolated corner.

No way to recall it without pre-recording in the PDR?

Some of us didn't have the option of a PDR.
