Using On-Board Cameras For Track Days

Track days are becoming increasingly popular both for people wanting to experience high speed motoring in top of the range cars or simply for others wanting to push their own bikes and cars to the limit in a ’safe’ environment. No extreme motoring experience would be complete without a DVD to demonstrate your Lewis Hamilton-like skills to family and friends. If this is a must-have for you it is worth checking out what is on offer at your track of choice before the day itself. Some tracks will allow you to take your own on board or helmet camera, others will allow you to film providing you sign a disclaimer and some have an absolute ban.  There are four main scenarios:

Someone at the track may already be on hand to offer their services to provide you with a camera set up to film your experience. This service generally includes mounting the camera, handling all the filming and burning the video to a DVD.  You should expect to pay between £25-£35 for this type of package. europa2004.
