the camera can be turned 360 degrees so front rear and even side shots are posible :D

You'd need some sort of capture device I guess mate.

I saw a really good on-board cam from an 8th buggy in france I think - might have been a UK driver.

The quality is not perfect and the camera being cheap reacts badly to sudden changes in light level with glare being a problem.
I have a couple of test runs on my computer but they have been ripped off my cheap digi cam corder so the quality has sufferd a bit.
I havent got a hosting acount and the file type wont post on here.
if someone with hosting pm's me I'll email them the clips and they can host if they want.
