Look, we get it. GoPro is clearly the leader when it comes to action and sports cameras. The company has built a huge reputation and following, and it’s completely natural for you to just grab a GoPro when you’re in the market for a portable action camera. But like any other product in this world, there are cheaper alternatives from overseas manufacturers that might fulfill all your needs without having to empty out your wallet.

In recent years, GoPro cameras have become a car enthusiast’s dream. Whether you’re a track day enthusiast or simply like attending car shows, a GoPro is the perfect compact device to capture all the action. With a GoPro, you can relive your lap around the track or share it quickly with the world to see, which also comes in handy if you’re looking to cut a few seconds from your lap time.

It seems just about every performance junkie and their mother are recording track sessions, back road bombing, and even mundane milk runs. Now Ford wants to play too.

Normal, smoky burnouts are just so boring.

While Chevrolet is enjoying the success of its fifth-generation Camaro with the Commemorative Edition, tuners are turning their attention to classic models to steal the show.

It may not have been the fall that caused Michael Schumacher’s devastating head injury, but the GoPro camera mounted to his helmet.

Volkswagen wants to have a little bit of its own Gymkhana fun.

Over the last few years, GoPro cameras have become all the rage for action sports enthusiasts. Of course, automotive enthusiasts have found many ways to incorporate GoPros to capture footage – in car and on the track.

Ken Block’s Gymkhana 4 has been filmed and is ready for release in a few days, on August 16. To hype up the release of the video, a teaser trailer has been released, getting us ready for some serious hoon action. In the video, we get a thirty second taste of the turbocharged rally monster. Nine GoPro cameras catch the half-metre long flame flowing out of the Ford’s titanium exhaust. We are very excited to see what Ken has up his sleeves for us.

Check out the video after the jump!

“Monster” Tajima’s record-setting Pikes Peak car was heavily sponsored by GoPro Cameras, which is why it’s no surprise that they’re letting us experience the glory of the sub-10-minute run for ourselves.

Tajima’s Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special was outfitted with multiple cameras, capturing every angle of the epic run. GoPro’s dedicated team of boffins is editing the footage right now—good luck boys, and I’ll buy you a Red Bull Sugarfree for your efforts—but what we do have right now is the most important angle of all: the front view out the cockpit, shot on the GoPro Hero in full, glorious 1080p HD.

Watch Tajima storm the tarmac after the jump.

Racers from all facets of motorsports and alternative sports are turning towards helmet cams to show off their crazy antics on YouTube. GoPro has become a leader in offering these compact cameras and it looks like they’re coming out with a real affordable option to the masses.
