Allan McWec: G-force explained

Ladies and gentlemen...let us introduce you to Allan McWec! He will be your guide all along WEC Season 9 to make yourself familiar with the particularities of sportscar racing and more. Here we go!

[@DeGarisJ]

Is it me, or does that not actually explain what G-force is...?

[@yahyatrueblood9933]

I get it but I don’t….definitely did not explain what it is

[@christaylor1042]

Didn’t explain it at all😂

[@user-fd2jh1qx6c]

Same

[@JossinJax]

Nope, not even close.

[@miracle4730]

its a click bait.

[@jorhop4005]

I remember a video of Allan explaining all of this was aired in the broadcast right before his massive crash in 2011

[@rupang886]

@Khalid Timothy No, no, no. go away.

[@amytysoe2292]

yup, and they kept playing it out throughout that race - I saw it so many times that ever since, whenever i hear allan's voice I still hear the words 'gentle jog'. Hearing him actually say it again on this was definitely weird :D

I really love Allan's professional commentary in edurance races.

This did not explain what or how g force works
It just describes how racers cope

[@Chill_yz]

G force is kind of like how gravity works. Mass is not weight. Mass is how much of something there is while weight is how much force that mass applies to something else. When something is going fast, they put more force rather than if it were to go slowly. If you were falling from a roof, youd hit the ground harder than if you jumped from the ground. Basically g-force increases an objects weight depending on the speed. Includes every part thats moving at that speed (clothes, steering wheel, organs, skull,) making things hard to move or change the direction its moving

[@blueygooey8899]

@@Chill_yz so then is there always a G-force on any object with mass within a gravity well?
And if so, I'd guess G-forces are basically just a spectrum, like when someone is pulling Gs, they're simply increasing their G rating to the point it has a significant physical effect
Is this right?

[@Chill_yz]

@@blueygooey8899 yes, gforce on earth is 1.00, stationary. And yes, any object that moves with a speed increases its gforce but to an insignificant amount unless it is highspeed like a rocket or a missile

[@Chill_yz]

@@blueygooey8899 If a jet pilot experiences 9-gforce, they are basically feeling the gravitational effect of 9 times the weight they usually are

[@blueygooey8899]

@@Chill_yz thanks :)
Very clear answers

[@jamdc2000]

loved the Porsche and Bugatti hints

[@1997jankuschef]

I’d say a 911GT1 vs a Chiron. Interesting matchup

[@Jason-ld5fn]

Well Porsche is actually participating in 2023
Too bad it's not in hyper class though

[@corsamode]

@@Jason-ld5fn Porsche is racing in the Hypercar class. Hypercar consists of LMDh and LMH, they will all race together

[@dan_t3702]

Not a hint, just old graphic when some speculation around Hypercar class. No racing for small manufacturer

[@sot1susy-amogus]

Now that's a lesson,thx for making this

[@quietbatperson]

'Allan McWec'?
Rather than, you know, 'Allan WecNish', which is an actual pun...

I didn't know there are that many difficulties just in one turn, makes me appreciate drivers' skills more. Really thanks for the explanation 👍

[@Kmotorsports]

Amazing video Allan, looking to the next one :)

[@JossinJax]

Retitle this “How G forces affect race car drivers.”

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

meanwhile my race kart fractures ribs cornering.

[@brucelee7782]

so you're telling me instead of exercising I should have been driving a sportscar instead

[@zwykyziomek2570]

so many videos lately, love it

[@AeroSeb]

Great video!

[@pentilex4338]

The animation is so cute

[@icheko2498]

Am I stupid or did this video not explain G force.

[@attilasomogyi7156]

Allan McWec...
Honestly: hahaha! I laugh because of it, but the video is good! Like!

[@oftengone]

Nice animation WEC. Keep up the great content!

[@etiennec8139]

I'll show this next time people question the "sport" in "motorsports"

[@spiritualdawg3623]

This did not explain what g force is whatsoever but okay

[@bakihanma839]

Force your body takes at high speeds not hard bro

[@killercroc3535]

0:24 y'all predicted the Bugatti bolide💀

[@ricardo_pessoa_santos]

Very nice!!

[@MenaYZaki]

Wow g force is so complicated I cant understand it

[@abianete98]

Top gun brought me here

[@bobthetroll]

I'm confused. Is this a real person or WEC's animated mascot?

[@AntoniusTyas]

Yes.

[@kizmetmars]

More please.

[@Dr.Cypher]

You didnt explane g force at all...

[@RacingForLife88]

Am I the only one who read Allan McWee

[@FarmYardGaming]

Hey, nice

[@IROCMAN666]

Nice video, but can we have subtitles in french ?

[@martinzoellner6115]

One of these cars looks like a Porsche GT1..doesn't it?

Conversely, motorsport is one of only a few true forms of sport.
