How many G’s was Ayrton Senna Crash?

Ayrton Senna was a Brazilian racing driver who won the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship in 1988, 1990, and 1991.

Ayrton Senna died on May 1, 1994, when his Williams FW16 collided with a concrete barrier while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

It’s unclear how many Gs Ayrton Senna’s crash had, but it was most likely more than 50. The car’s trajectory, combined with his speed, meant that Ayrton Senna’s cornering forces more than doubled, from 1.5 G to 3.27 G, but the force of the impact was unknown.

The accident happened during the restart of the second lap. Senna had taken a tighter line at Tamburello corner to reduce the impact of the bumps on the car.

Ayrton Senna entered the Tamburello corner at 192 mph (309 kph), before braking hard and colliding with a concrete wall at 131 mph (211 kph).
