Here is what the Tug View looks like when installed with a Go Pro.
Here is the Tugless view camera mount in position. The cameras can also be easily be mounted on the rear of the car.
Although they are often overlooked and not given much thought, tow hooks are an important part of any track-driven car’s equipment. Raceseng makes it easy to get custom fit, good looking, unobtrusive, and very strong tow hooks, tow straps, license plate mounts, and camera mounts on your car. We wish we had them on Project FR-S sooner, many hundreds of dollars of damage to our aero could have been prevented. We are telling you so you don’t have to learn the same lesson!

I have been a nationally licensed SCCA Course Marshall since 1997. I have towed a lot of cars off the track since then. We do not encourage drivers to use the threaded hole the bumper for the tow eye. That screw in may be barely OK for getting a dead car onto a roll back, but we have found that the metal behind those threads isn’t normally strong enough to hold up to a pull half way around a road course with the driver dragging the brakes to keep the rope tight. We have seen more than a few be ripped out of the bumper. And not because we try to brutalize dead race cars. Quite the opposite.
We recommend that the tow eye be firmly bolted to the main frame of the car. The same goes for a mesh style rig made from a recovery strap. SCCA rules demand that a 2 inch ID eye be fitted front and back but little is said about “how” to mount said tow eye. The little hole in the bumper cover is quick and convenient but this is a safety issue for both the driver of the race car and the people in the recovery vehicle. Attach your tow eye onto the strongest frame you can find.
