Capture your driving and relive that perfect lap over and over again.

This track is fertile ground for epic (and sometimes not so epic) moments. Crashes, powerslides and hitting the perfect apex are all worth capturing in the video. So when your friend says, "No, this can't happen", you have proof.

We have evolved from the old huge car camera to the little thing called an action camera. With the correct brackets, you can stick them outside or inside the car. Maybe you want to capture the annoying reverse entry drift, or record the prance of your foot on the pedal. You might even become popular on YouTube—hopefully not in one of those crash compilations.

We collected expert opinions from car and driver editors who love the racetrack, as well as some of the most acclaimed options on Amazon. Spoiler alert: They are not all GoPros. Remember to send us part of a YouTube check.

15 items you must bring on the tracking day

This entry-level sports camera is a good entry choice. The video resolution is a bit insufficient—1080P at 15FPS, 720P at 30FPS—but it can get the job done. Although you just use this camera to get the basic skeleton, the price can't go wrong.

VanTop Moment 3 is another excellent budget-friendly option. With the help of a 16MP camera, you can choose 4K video at 30FPS. The ultra-wide-angle lens can even record up to 170 degrees. It also comes with a durable suitcase. 

As another entry-level sports camera, the Akaso EK7000 has a quality standard performance. With 30FPS 4K and 170-degree lens, you will be able to capture most of the tracks. It is easy to edit through the Akaso Go application.

This action camera is a great choice in the mid-price range. The camera has two clear screens-one in the back and one in the front next to the lens to help you frame the image in the lens. RockSteady stabilization technology provides excellent, stable shots. 

GoPro has become the benchmark for sports cameras for a reason. HERO8 is a slightly older option, but it is more affordable than the current generation. With three levels of stability, rest assured, no matter how rugged the track, your lap numbers will look good. The battery life varies from one to two hours, and it only takes three hours to charge. 

This is the current generation of GoPro and the best generation. Its genius 23.6MP sensor can capture stunning 5K video and has a front screen like DJI Osmo. The brand new HyperSmooth 3.0 is an upgraded stability system to ensure that your video is as smooth as butter. With GoPro's massive accessory list, you can install HERO9 anytime, anywhere.

This is the mother of all trajectory analysis tools. Although the focus of this product is the main screen, the remote camera should not be ignored. It captures your lap in a clear HD format, which can be replayed on the device, with a time synchronization overlay showing speed, lap data, etc. If you really want to shave off tithes and imagine where you can find them, then a catalyst is essential.
