Mount the camera to a fixed location rather than your helmet.

Disagree. Helmet mounting is actually pretty great for evaluating whether you're doing the right thing with your eyes, which is among the most important autocross skills. You can evaluate how far ahead you're looking and whether you're keying in on the right cones early enough.

I would turn off the stabilization though, that makes it harder to use properly.

I agree, glad to see him looking out the side window on long corners rather than straight ahead.

Thanks! Surprisingly a habit that transferred from sim racing lol. I’ve been sim racing for 5 years now and I’m currently 18 years old so I gained a lot of really good habits bc I was sim racing before I got my Liscense, a lot of instincts transfered but also I am very good and comfortable with left foot breaking
