Dude, the G loading a fighter pilot subjects themselves to is what, short bursts in a 20-30 minute time span?

We're talking about semiconstant G loading for up to 3 hours.

I'ts not the same thing.

Popsci is a gossip magazine, they don't research their articles, or haven't in a long time.

G's are G's man. A G-suit is just as effective with sustained G's as it is with peak, Probably more effective with the sustained. Either way, you're trying to keep the blood in the brain and that's what the suit does. The theory is valid, the application might need a bit of tweaking for auto racing, but no reason why it wouldn't work.
