g force = speed^2/(radius x gravity constant)
Cornering g force and speed absolutely are locked in and related in this fashion. Understanding cars in detail requires and understanding of basic science.
So again I am not saying you can predict real world track corner g force from the skidpad values on a different radius and different speed. What I am saying is that you can not take two vehicles and have one corner faster but produce less g force in the same corner with the same line!

You seem to be ignoring the example I showed you in the other thread.

Either this was recorded in the Bermuda triangle where logical physics goes out the window or EVO had a typo, which I doubt.
The other examples show how speed and Lateral Gs can differ, the Enzo and CXX recording the same Gs reading through Hohe Acht, but differ in speed by 2.4mph and through Brunnchen where the speeds were all but identical yet the G figures were again different for each other.

As I said speed through a corner is a better gauge of handling ability than G figures.
