What's the knob on the left? Boost? Very cool, car appears to be a beast to drive.

Fire suppression (I think).

Edit: Nevermind. I see him fiddling with it during the run. Boost?

I wouldn't be surprised if the knob was for brake bias.

Why did they have to mount the camera on the drivers helmet? This video could have been outstanding... instead it gave me a headache

That is an adjustable boost knob , not brake bias knob he keeps fiddling with

I real camera mount would have been everything.

Yeah, I agree about the camera choice. I saw several cars there with internal and/or externally mounted cameras so I wonder if more video will be surfacing in the coming days.

Yeh, the car seemed ferocious until, I assume he had it dialed right.
