The dash displays your lateral acceleration and stays on the highest recorded value until you shut it off (then it starts over).

I am curious what others have seen for left or right hand turns.

Nurburgring! Wow! I lived near there for two years but never drove on it.

I recorded 1.17 at Michelin Road Atlanta. It was my first ever track day.

What got me curious is seeing a YouTube video of a guy tracking his Mustang. He had an accelerometer built into whatever system he was using to record his video, and he was hitting like 1.43 G !!! Not a typo. It was displaying the G forces in real time, and he was holding sustained high G forces like that for some long turns. I do not know what all mods he had to his car, and the accelerometer was not the stock Ford dashboard, so I do not know how comparable the two numbers are from one device to the other, but I was rather shocked, because I had to drive my car pretty hard through the turns to get that 1.17G . . . of course I am new at this, so a more experienced driver could have probably pushed that number higher.

Nice to hear. If you are coming over again, just give a message. We can have a round easily.

I drove the Hockenheimring Race Track too, but I forgot to record my values. However, the tires got hot and the grip was accordingly higher.

I watched during Dark Horse Track Attack, and IIRC the best I got was 1.18 one way and 1.14 the other. That’s post session beer worthy. 2 pints for being the first track day :cool:

I saw 1.34g on the top of my accelerometer after a brake 'inspection' one time...
I’ve seen 1.36 at track attack and 1.32 on a controlled brake test on local roads, so #respect!

I don't fully trust it because I once saw like 1.3-1.5 something driving slowly to get groceries in my town. In a base Ecoboost. Not even possible (without crashing the car).

I am guessing that may have something to do with the lower speeds of autocross as compared to road racing, as RaceWinner mentioned above? (I do not know - I have never participated in autocross and this is my first access to an accelerometer)

I've never checked the in car data, but using a data logger for my last track weekend at Barber, the highest lateral acceleration recorded was 1.30.

I'm headed to Road Atlanta the weekend of July 12, and I'll try to remember to take a look at what the car records and compare it to my data logger.

Out of curiosity, what tires do you use?

And, yeah, I am really curious how accurate the Ford dashboard reading is.

Are you attending the JustTrackIt event at Road Atlanta that weekend or something else?

I'm not sure what was my highest, but this was my most recent one worthy of a picture:
