The only thing better than an onboard camera is a camera placed at the driver’s eye level; and now, thanks to the wonders of technology, we have a growing number of clips online that show just that.
From James Hinchcliffe’s recent return to an IndyCar to a rained-out Nürburgring 24 Hour race—and some sunny clips from Monterey thrown in for good measure—these films put you as close to the action as you’ll be able to get…without, of course, actually sitting in a race car.
