Shan2nu is talking about instantaneous - which means the cars did manage a lateral force equivalent to 1G, but momentarily, probably for a fraction of a second.
Ofcourse, i never said Indian cars can hold 1G of "Lat Acc" but they are definately capable of producing 1G, even if it lasts for a fraction of a sec.

Come to think of it, i doubt even an F1 car can pull 3-4Gs on a 200ft skidpad. It would never be able to reach the speeds required to produce enough downforce.
