Default Recommendations for an Action (trackday) Cam?

Anyone got any feedback on which is a good Action / or Helmet type camera for use on trackdays, in car. I know GoPro are the best but are a almost £200 & Drift & Chilli also seem good & approx £100. Then are the £50 & under Chinese ones on ebay too. Any thoughts, thanks.

I need to fit an external mic think it was some kind of feedback had it Sussex on first video at mallory then moved camera and got a bit of noise coming through that's all il sort it next time I'm out .

The drift I think is a better camera than the go pro you can get the smaller version now for under £200 with 32gb card .
You also get the wrist remote control which is handy
