Not many good places inside to stick it. I'd put it on the outside, top/center window or front edge of the roof. Good view of your line there.

What I've done is this: I took one of the curved sticky mounts and placed it just off center on the front of my bumper. This way when I mount the camera it is positioned with the lens almost centered on the car. I think it may be off an inch or so but it's obviously not noticed in play back.

I just want to get my hands in the vid also. This way I can get more feedback from the instructors.

Get the helmet mount and put it on the right hand side of your helmet. Another forum member Spearfish uses this, he posted a couple videos from trackdays or autox, look them up to get an idea.

How about on the outside of the quarter window? Angle it so that it can see your steering wheel, while at the same time getting the track.

SPOHN · 11-24-2011, 12:09 PM

Yea I think I've seen that before.

You guys should look into my cheap in-car mount diy.

Unless you have a racing bucket and harness, your head will bounce pretty hard left and right. Outside shot without hands or telemetry are pretty useless as a driving tool too

I thought this might be the result. My camera did come with a helmet mount as well.

I like the rear mount so I can tell what happened later*. Two months ago I came off the track with three tires, not four. Without the video I would have never understood what actually happened.

* not the best cinematically.

Here is a shot from inside the car vs above the car (NASCAR style) With telemetry

One without the telemetry

Here's what I was talking about: Autobahn CC full course with MVP

I don't think the picture is that shaky.

Okay back on topic...

Our choices so far are:
- Lockton Affinity.com/
- ontrackinsurance.com/

Are there any others that we should know about ?

Thanks all

Just to Chime in,

I was at an HPDE at VIR a bit ago and an unfortunate guy in a mustang went into the wall. I talked to him afterwards. It was the first time he decided to get track insurance and he was VERY glad he did.

We actually found a company who offers single day track day insurance for HPDE style events and offered it to our students at Z Nationals. I think a 1-day, single event policy was around $150. I am sure there were other variables, but I know that is what one of our employees paid to cover his C5 Vette.
