You'd need some sort of capture device I guess mate.

have you tried it? what sort of frame rate do you get? is it quite pixelated?

I saw a really good on-board cam from an 8th buggy in france I think - might have been a UK driver.

The quality is not perfect and the camera being cheap reacts badly to sudden changes in light level with glare being a problem.

I have a couple of test runs on my computer but they have been ripped off my cheap digi cam corder so the quality has sufferd a bit.

I havent got a hosting acount and the file type wont post on here.

if someone with hosting pm's me I'll email them the clips and they can host if they want.
