Sometimes, the g-force is so strong that light can't escape. If you're cornering that fast, congrats. You've just destroyed our corner of the universe.

The g forces are the horizontal forces you feel when cornering, a cars grip are tested in a roundabout, and a good car can handle more G's before loosing grip. G force is a lot about how much the car can corner without oversteering or understeering out of the line it is supposed to drive...
Actually, in the Speed Test, it's maximum vehicle acceleration, not lateral acceleration, expressed as a proportion of the acceleration due to Earth's gravity (which is 9.81m/s/s).
A G reading of 1.00 is equivalent to gaining 22mph per second. A 0-60mph time (or 60-0mph) of 2.73s would be equivalent to an average acceleration of 1G, but the peak would likely be a bit higher than that.
