A 3 GoPro setup would be pretty badass. One mounted in the middle behind the driver so you can see everything happening in the cockpit, one aimed backwards outside and one in front bumper.

Cut that shit together and you'll have your own Gumball video.

Be sure to mix it up an try different camera angles to keep it exciting, the lower the camera is to the ground the better the sense of speed will be. If your GoPro has wifi use the app to double check your angles but turn the wifi off after to save battery.

With regards to safety strings ALWAYS use one, if you're worried about the body get some wide masking tape and mask off the car anywhere the camera could swing if it fell off (keep the string short). When you do use the suction mount, ensure everything is clean and get the cup a bit wet to help it stick, also be sure you lock it down fully.
