Not sure why it was shaking so bad but the audio is pretty awful on this camera anyways. Would be nice if it had an external mic hookup. Probably will on the next one. Comes with several different mounts so I have to figure out which one rattles and which one doesn't.

Also this thing needs alot of light to work. Overcast day so it could have looked better.

I was not aware of the mic settings - will have to look that up. I was bummed about no external mic input.

However in addition they recommend using the case back with the openings for an enclosed car or other situations up to 100mph or so. The solid case back muffles the sound a lot more and is suggested for high speeds in the wind or obviously if there is water or snow around.

Also there are two light meter settings - matrix/average and spot. One or the other will work better to correctly expose the outside vs the inside of the car.

I'll shoot a lot of video (hopefully) at the track in a few weeks. I happened to already have an I/O Port camera mount attached to my rollcage, so it is super stable. I have not tried any of the stick-on or suction cup mounts that came with the GoPro, yet.
