After finishing every track day with "wish I'd filmed that", I finally want to do something about it!

Please can someone recommend a setup for my Cobra. I need a camera (I'm thinking a bullet cam as it's small) to fit either on the roll bar or mounted to the boot. Are the suction mounts enough to keep it from falling off?

With the wireless cameras - where do they store the film? Do I need a separate storage device inside the car? How much storage should I be looking for?
Are there any issues with tracks not allowing external car filming?

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Dog Cam Sport.

Google it and they have an eBay shop, I have a High Def bullet cam from them and record on an Archos 504 HDD.

The suction mounts are excellent and stick well to helmets & body panels, mine went round the Nurburgring last weekend 11 times no problems.

Not sure if this info is of any use - but unless you spend a fair amount of money on a pro set up - try to avoid a hard drive camcorder. The vibration in car can cause the hard drive to shut down - it's a protective measure. My camcorder works fab when recording to an SD card (I get about 40min recording per 2gb card) - but the camera fails every time with the hard drive!
