Where do you mount your GoPro in your 911 ?

I tried a few places but none really seemed to work well. I tried the back window, which then got a lot of the interior, and not much of the outside. I tried the front driver's triangle window, but that wasn't great either.

Mounted on the horizontal (harness) bar of my roll bar, using GoPro's tube mounting accessory kit.

Great location... if you have a roll bar or cage!

For AX I usually mount to the outside of the rear window, but I realize that's not necessarily practical for track work. If I do the inside I use the passenger rear side window. I've found seeing my inputs is a lot more useful information than watching a course go by.

I like the idea of putting the passenger seat totally down, and sticking it on the passenger rear window. Thanks.

I would not put the passanger seat down as there is no way to lock it down. I would remove it

The problem is the exposure metering when you include the black interior. As you can see, the outside view is overexposed and blown out.

IO Port mount on the harness bar:

Will try top of windshield next time.

It is good to see some of my inputs, the tach, the mirrors, and most of the course... decent engine sounds too...
