As per title really, let's say for 200 quid or less assuming roll bar mounted and preferably with little or no accessories to be bought separately, what do you use?

Have a look at second hand GoPro Hero black 3's on eBay, for £200 you'll probably pickup a couple of cams, one front, one rear and some attachments

I'm very happy with my 2 camera purchases.
1st is a Samsung Gear 360 (2016) - which are now cheap as chips, even the 2017 version isnt expensive. Its a little Gimiky, bit quite a cool idea.

2nd is a recent purchase, ELE 4k action camera intended for holiday as it has a water proof go pro style cover, along with every type of mount going included!. But was equally adept for Track days, so good I bought 2 for multiple angles. 4k is pointless, really needs to be used in 1080 as 4k is only 15fps, but there are versions and similar gopro copies (SJcam, Git, etc) all under £100.

I really like my mobius cam, incredible bang for the buck. https://youtu.be/80KZDmDTJAw

Search ebay for it, be aware of the different lenses available. Lenses are interchangeable and can be bought cheaply separately if you want to try a different lens. The clip above is the standard lens, non wide.

It all depends on what you want from your cam.

Thanks all

I went for the ELE 4k action camera, to be honest it was the number of fixings that come with it that sealed the deal for me. It arrives Thursday and I have a track day Friday to try it out. Thanks again guys.
