Yes it is used for motor sports on the track and such but for every day "No worries it's working in the background" automatic recording.
My cheap 808 dvr needs charging and manual operation everytime I jump in the car and 2 problems I have the most is battery life and no loop recording. I can't justify spending $200-$400 for HD without those auto features to put my mind as ease.
P.s post it up FS: camera/electronics section of the revscene Buy&Sell.

Go Pro is more of an action cam. Too much hassle to turn it on and off on a day to day basis
