Changing the lens to a less wider one means that you also have to move the camera more toward the rear of the car to capture the same area. And there's where the seats start to obstruct the view

The point dimvii wants to make it that it doesn't need to cover all that, you can get away with a bit less wide angle lens, and keeping the lens position equal.
Definitely it is a delicate selection of lens used and positioning of the camera. But if someone with limited resources as SubaruNorway can do it, for sure RedBullMedia can do that too!
exactly as makinen fan said..

You can't keep the same position for Wide and Narrow. Well you can, but you'll see a lot less.
SubaruNorway, the video of Grondal is with the medium FOV?
Yeah it's medium mounted to the front edge of the co drivers seat in both. You have a narrow setting on the GoPro too but i never tried it for inboard, you would then probably have the edge of the frame just at the A pillars and not much speed sensation but of course better details of the road.
This is medium with a manfrotto super clamp and 25cm extension arm mounted to the cage 10cm back from the front edge of the seat. As you can see some vibration so welding my own heavy duty extension arm :p
Low light that day so i think that's why the quality is not that good.

Halle-sodding-lujah, at last.
I'm not in on Thursday evening; do any regular users know how long after a live stage it's usually made available to watch for subscribers?
