It is a tool used by race car engineers, and we have the capability to do it with our RC race cars too.

A quick analysis shows a clumping of data points on acceleration during a RH turn. Since we are running clockwise at the track, this makes sense since we are turning 360 degrees more RH than LH. It also shows a massive clumping of data points in the center which means that during much of the race, there weren't high g-forces acting on the chassis at all which means I wasn't driving at the limit. A better G-G diagram would show much fewer data points in the center (the data would be more scattered) and would mean I would be driving at the limit more.
