Mounting Gopro for track days

Where and with what mounts do you guys use to mount your Gopro? I want to record an event but I don't know the best/safest place for it.

Suction cup mount to windshield - in front of the rear-view mirror where it won't block my vision.

I clipped mine to the sun visor. You can go to my youtube site to see the video perspective it gives you (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Y...=dd&shelf_id=0). I also tried the window behind the main drivers side window on the outside. I was a little nervous of it falling off, but I cleaned the involved surfaces and it held fine.

Suction cup from sunroof looking over my shoulder out front window. Captures some of the speedometer and hands on wheel in addition to view of road. Thi s is the Automobile option kit for GoPro.

Also try tackform dot com. I bought the headrest version works like a charm. I've used the suction cup for shots outside the car as well.

With how the 235 interior is I plan on mounting mine on the rear passenger quarter window. Should work pretty good. It's how I mounted mine on my Evo.

Might be too close to the front on a coupe though...
