His deceleration from 108 mph (173 km/h) to 0 in a distance of 26 inches (66 cm) is one of the highest G-loads survived in a crash (180 G). He scored no championship points during his Formula One career. He died in a plane crash, having retired from motorsport and taken up aerobatics, in 1985.

For many years, this was thought to be the highest g-force ever survived by a human being. [3] He suffered multiple fractures to his legs, pelvis and ribs. The second CRP1 has been restored and has competed in historic Formula One racing alongside a modern replica built by WKD Motorsport. [4]
He survived one of the racing sport's biggest crashes at Texas Motor Speedway in 2003, where he recorded the highest horizontal g-force ever survived by a human being at 214 g 0. [2] [3] Eighteen months later he made a comeback at the Indy 500 and set the fastest qualifying time of the field. He retired from IndyCar racing after the race.

A modern Formula One car capable of developing up to six G of lateral cornering force and a downforce equivalent to twice its weight at 190 km/h (120 mph). [ 65 ] [ 66 ] The car is designed to create the maximum amount of downforce for the minimal amount of drag with the configuration often modified to the requirements of a particular track. [ 58 ]
It can generate, according to Dodge's website, 2.004 Gs, the highest g-force acceleration of any production vehicle short of one of those rockets made by Elon Musk. Fuel efficiency may be an issue ...
