Where's the best place to mount a GoPro camera inside and MR2 for a forward facing view.
 
I bought a suction mount but I have to use all the long bulky bits to get the camera facing the right way, then the slope of the front windscreen doesn't allow you to mount it anywhere.
 
I don't want to use the sticky mount on the vinyl dash.
 
Any ideas??

For in car, I mount from the rear window.
External I mount from drivers side quarter glass.

I had the same problem in my road car till I realised that you can actually set the camera to rotate/record 180 degrees and the problem was solved.

I found one of the better spots (if driving solo) was to remove the passenger headrest and attach on the rear window. There's a few different angles from the race day on that link.

Thanks, I was pretty dissappointed the mounting was not better engineered for a sloping front windscreen :-(
 
I pretty much mounted it in the same position as Dasic1 (thanks Andrew) but what I wanted was an out the front windscreen view.  I'll check out the 180 rotation, thanks.
 
No not setting it up for Haunted Hills .. ;-) but for the MR2 Nationals in Tassy.

I've also mounted mine upside down from the sunroof with the 180 degree inversion.

This is what I've settled on, not a bad view out the front screen as well.
