What are you guys using for GoPro headrest mounts for F3X cars?

Always put it on the side of my helmet. Gives a very involving video with the head movement.

I do the same
Mounted to the side of helmet
It shows your hands, shifting, head movements
Makes for a dynamic video that is more interesting than a stationary mounted one
But I usually run 2 gopros to get both perspectives anyway

You could also use the suction cup and put it on the inside of the passenger door. Then you can look out of the front window and see the steering wheel and other driver action.

Here is a sample (not track):

Maybe the sun roof if there is any present then? I would avoid any mount on the seat since it vibrates too much.

I've been using this one from AMT Engineering. Works great, and when you mount it on the driver's seat, zero vibration.
Actually, I will be running the car with race seats going forward, and since they don't have headrest bars, this mount will no longer work for me, so let me know if you're interested...
