How do Fia measure it? Do they have sensors on driver and co pilots suits? Or do they just use bullshit-o-meter.
Brack may have survived many G's but with multiple injuries, and at what point he blacked out who knows.

Don't know if you just meant the indy crash but It's in the car, like the light you can see on the top right of the Yaris dash that flashes if you crash hard enough and sends a signal with rally safe to FIA.

This is an example of real crash test measurement. You can see that at pretty slow 35mph crash the dummy's head acceleration reached nearly 70G. It corresponds roughly with values I have seen long time a go in the university for Skoda Felicia crash test.

Reigning World Rally champion Ott Tanak wants to be back in a Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC as soon as possible following his high-speed crash out of last week's Monte Carlo Rally.

Tanak - who won last year's WRC title with Toyota - switched to Hyundai for 2020, but crashed his i20 Coupe WRC out of the Monte Carlo Rally last week on Friday.

The accident happened on SS4, when Tanak and co-driver Martin Jarveoja were running third.

The Hyundai left the road at 113mph and cartwheeled through a crash which lasted 14 seconds and ended with the car dropping 30 metres off a cliff.

Tanak and co-driver Martin Jarveoja were kept in hospital for surveillance overnight, but were given the all-clear and discharged on Saturday morning. They flew home to Estonia on Sunday.

"The biggest shame is that we couldn't spend too much time in the car," Tanak told Autosport.

"On the first evening I did not feel too good, but we improved the car overnight and already on Friday morning it felt better.

"But then the ride was cut a bit short.

"It was a proper accident.

"When the car was destroyed and it's not possible to continue, that means it was a good one.

"The safety equipment did its job, we're happy to be here."

"Now it's a long break in, let's say, the Tarmac championship - the next one (asphalt round) is at the end of the year. Now we have to focus on the dirt."

Asked about the cause of the accident, he said: "We hit a bump that I didn't recognise in the recce and that sent us onto the wrong line, but it's never one thing.

"It was a combination of things that all together caused us to go off the road.

"As we know, accidents happen in motorsport, it's nothing new.

"Our plan is the same.

"This is a long season and it's time to fightback - we're fit and we're ready for that."

Tanak's team-mate Thierry Neuville went on to win the event, overcoming Tanak's Toyota replacement Sebastien Ogier and his team-mate Elfyn Evans on the last day.

For the next event, Rally Sweden, Hyundai has confirmed that nine-time WRC champion Sebastien Loeb will be replaced by Craig Breen in the third i20 WRC.

Interesting, and quite eye opening Mirek.
Was it the usual vehicle projected into a solid concrete block crash test though?
And do we know if the crash test dummy blacked out

It'll be interesting to see if it does affect Tanak at all.

He's already won the Title and is very family-orientated so the crash might have a psychological impact on his speed and approach to danger.

Neuville,Evans ,Ogier,first one the best pass.

and here is the crux, genuine question and not just arguing for the toss, but if the car is equipped with a device that measures the G force of a crash, would it not have automatically triggered a red flag if a car had an impact measuring 100G?

This. Tänak's crash was so HUGE that it definitely is a relevant question whether he'll be the same again. In a sport where it's all about hundredths per km these kind of things can make the difference. But, having seen what kind of monster Tänak is at the wheel of a World Rally Car, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he comes and dominates in Sweden straight from SS1.
