We mounted a Motorsports HERO Wide just to the right of the rear view mirror in a Spec Miata to show you one of the best views in motorsports. Be it a race car or a street car, mounting your wide angle GoPro camera to the right of your rear view mirror with a slight left/down tilt gives you this great view down track while still showing your hands on the wheel.

GoPro picked up a Mitsubishi EVO X to help develop our ever evolving line of on-board motorsports cameras. Since street cars don't have roll bars we include a top of the line suction cup mounting system with the Motorsports HERO Wide camera system. Strong enough to mount on your car's exterior, your plane, your boat, etc...it works perfectly as a window mounted camera to give you a professional "race" like viewpoint of your spirited drives. In this case we're on a walkie talkie scouted backcountry road showing why every rave review of the GoPro Motorsports HERO Wide is right on target.
The EVO X ain't half bad either :-)
Top tip for GoPro customers that want throaty engine sounds with their GoPro camera mounted inside the car. Unscrew the housing lens and save it for when you need the camera to be waterproof or you need to protect the camera lens from flying rocks, etc. Inside the car you don't need it and the sound of your engine will be much louder.
