I much prefer the F1 onboards of the late 80s and early 90s.

Compare..

Similarly cool is (was..) the Champ Car visor cam..

The view down near the driver's eyes, and the sound.. is way more exciting.

They're putting some of those new cameras near the front wing now, which is a pretty good view, but they should have one like in 1996 besides the driver or something. I'm watching an old copy of 1990 Spanish GP and when you see the onboard of Prost chasing Senna it's amazing. Just watching how much work Prost is doing with the steering wheel and how perfect Senna's lines through the Jerez corners are.

Why not put them right on top of the helmet?
