Placing a camera in a 156 GTA ?

Hi

The GTA is going to its first track day in two weeks time (cant wait!! )

Id like to capture my driving on a camera.
I used to make a mount of some assorted lengths of wood attached to the headrest columns, that way the camera was centrally placed, and had a good field of view. And it was possible to see both me working the wheel and the scenery, which made for good viewing.

Now, the GTA does not have headrests. So how would you place a camera ?
on the dash would be too low and at the top of windscreen too hight. I also do not have a sunroof, so I have nowhere to fix it... ?

Are you going to Mondello, or some where over here.

If it is here I may well join you. That way I could film you as well from behind (yep, there is a joke in there somewhere!) Assuming I could keep up, and from in front looking backwards...

I have a gopro and a mounting point.

you could use the top of the seat, and securely wrap tape around it if need be. parcel tape should do it.
