Honestly, out of all of my car friends I only know one that can say their car actually pulls more than 1g laterally and it's a fully race preped RX3 on slicks. Even then it's only something that can be accomplished on a 100% clean track.
im sure those are peak forces and not sustained loads. its not really all that hard to hit 1.0 g in a spike and then level off back into what the tires will hold.
