IOportracing.com has some for sale... maybe you can look at it and try to copy...

Also I saw some cool simple ones that mount to the head rest pillars. Saw it at a AutoX event. 1" PVC with holes drilled to mount under the headrest on the 2 pillars. Maybe Ill make one and show u sumday...

Yeah, I used one when I was autoX'n in my friend's SC MK1, it's pretty nice. I forgot what it's called though.

I made on off my old camera stand which broke and ziptied it to my headrest... it worked great..

If you have a wide angle lense for your camera, it would work perfect or if you just want to record your self, but for actual footage of the drifts... don't bother... you don't get a good feel of what the car is doing from the inside...

I'll try to take a picture of the mount and post it.. I ended up buying a really nice suction mount that mounts on the outside for better shots of the car...

a suction cup that you trust to hold your camera?

yea, it's not actually what you think it is... it's what professionals use..

it has a pump that removes all the ait from the panal/window and the rubber cup.. it holds upto 80lbs without a problem..

I stuck my camera on there and drove around my block and did a few donuts and stuff... stays on there like a champ... I even tried to rip it off the car and it wouldn't budge...

yes, I would trust this "suction cup" mount with my camera.. lol

i doubted it too until i saw it with my own eyes. my friend spun out numerous time on the track, and over the burms and it didnt budge. it's legit as long as you clean the area that you stick it on.
