We've got a lot of experience racing sports cars, open wheel cars...flogging our street cars on country roads and so on. We realized we need to get into a 125cc kart to test our GoPro cameras in what is the equivalent of strapping yourself to a paint shaker. Here we mounted a Motorsports HERO Wide camera on the mouth of our Arai GP-5K and took it for a spin. What's killer about this mounting location is that you cannot see the camera through the viewport but it gives you a front and center view of your line, your wheel, hands and shows you when you start looking into a turn. The side of the helmet at eye level is another very good mounting location if you want to see above the wheel a bit more. Notice the great sound with zero wind noise.

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.

GoPro recently picked up an EVO X to help develop our Motorsports HERO cameras. Here we're testing the new 170 degree wide angle lens Motorsports HERO Wide camera on a walkie talkie scouted back country road.
Good tip for mounting your GoPro inside of your car. If you want to get throaty engine sound like you hear on this video you should unscrew the glass lens on your camera's quick release housing. Save the lens for when you need the housing to be waterproof or need protection for the cameras lens. There's no need for it inside the car and you will get rad sound like in this video.
