Specs:
Camera is a GoPro Hero 4. I use this headrest mount, which places it nicely between the seats and far enough back to get a decent view both inside and outside the car. I also use this external mic, with dead cats covering the mics. The mic just stays attached to the headrest mount.
In other videos I've run a second camera looking back, with a lav mic just above one of the exhausts, to mix in some better sound, but that camera (a Hero 3) got destroyed last month, and I haven't replaced it yet. So there's just ambient sound in this weekend's video.
For data, I have an AiM Solo 2 DL, tapped into the car's CAN bus to get all the fun stuff like RPM/throttle/brake. I put the videos together after the fact in RaceRender. Template is my own semi-custom thing that I'm still refining. Next improvement will probably be combining throttle/brake into a single vertical bar instead of two separate horizontal ones. I tinkered with that a bit this morning and liked how it looked.
It's a go pro session 5 mounted to the passenger seat headrest post with this;

No offense taken and I appreciate the guidance.

The mount in the video is a headrest mount that I found on amazon. It is shockingly rigid and the arm is adjustable in a couple of different axes.

I'm currently using the Tackform Headrest Mount which I haven't had a single issue with, you just need to make sure all the adjustment screws are tightened down or you get rattling noise that you can hear in this video. this POV is great for feedback, though I wish it had a bit more of a sense of speed.
I'm running 225x40R18 RE71r's on 18x8 Enkei Raijin wheels. Love them so far, and from what I can tell are worth about 3ish seconds on a minute long course over the Contis. the RE71s are definitely an investment but really are the gold standard for autocross.
I have a mk7.5 R in manual, how do you like the DSG? I feel like it might even be a better choice for autocross, I lose too much time shifting manually.
