This is data from a different car but the principles will hold for a twin. The peak of -1.76g was held for a total of 0.019 seconds. My takeaway is what it's always been: Peak lateral g-force numbers are entertaining. BTW, that car ran a peak of -1.97g in that turn during the same on-track session. Sensor: Crossbow CXL04LP3 4G Accelerometer.

Trace showing spiky lateral g-forces during two seconds in the middle of a turn in a high-downforce, race-tired race car:

And a video showing the data in action:
