Clamp mount to the seat? Go on ebay and find something that suits. Some awesome stuff available. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

My point still stands, clamp/strap mounts work great on bucket seats. I'll dig some info.  Literally just type in "strap mount" & "clamp mount" to Google images for ideas. I strapped/clamped my camera between the belt holes of the passenger bucket seat. Another favourite company i use is Ram mounts. Pretty much a solution for everything, and specialise in ball and socket mounts. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

Yeah windscreen is fine, looks good. I just assumed you wanted an internal, BTCC style view. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

I did want more internal but not behind the seat as you can never usually see the car in front because the rear view mirror is in the way. I did try it on the dash above tge facia but it was quite annoying.yeah I have seen that truck once or twice now but ni idea where it is from. Thought it would be a good demo photo for view from my ho pro  ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

You won't be allowed on track with it there sadly (no suction mounts...) unless tethered to say the mirror if they deem that solid |

I still currently have a sunroof in mine (till the cage goes in) so I've always used a suction clamp on the sunroof gives a great view and a decent amount of sounds too  ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Croft allows the go pro mount as its not a suction mount, there a stick on and are pretty solid as race cars use the same mounts stuck on the exterior of the cars________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

No trackday I've been on allows a suction mount, you can get a cage mount for not a lot of monies, they pretty much bolt anywhere you have a tube to clamp it too, il try find a link to the one I bought...________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

Don't see why not of their strong enough. The one I use is hard to come by but is a proper go-pro suction clamp. Takes a lot of effort to even clamp the thing on and the surface area is massive in comparison to most. We've had it on the outside of cars well over 100mph at Santa pod with no problems. You couldn't possibly pull it off If you tried. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

I've no problems with sticky mounts, obviously cage ones are fine as well.I'm pretty certain MSVT allow suction mounts and Javelin allow them so long as they are behind the driver. ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

I don't think javelin allow suction mounts, Trackaction don't allow them, can't remember bout MSV. And I'm fairly sure circuit days don't.... As for 'sticky mounts' I'm not sure as I've never really heard of them. Contact the trackday operators to be sure is the best course of action I'd say.  ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber!

I was on a Javelin day on Monday and they said it was ok for suction mounts behind the driver. MSV recently changed their regs to allow them I think.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

That is a very recent change then, certainly in feb they (javelin) were testing rigidity of even he fixed mounts... I'm out with MSV in October so I'll see what they say to my mate who uses one... |
