Go Pro Hero 5 Black - Best setting for driving/track day driving?

SpeedDeman

What are the best setting from when you are taking video from inside a track car (with a roof)?

The issue I am facing is the it is dark inside the car, but bright outside. As a result, the sky and the detail of the road ahead is very blurred and overexposed.

I would be using the camera from behind the driver, on a wide setting so you can see the driver and the steering wheel as the entire front screen and view.

So, it's not being used a dashcam as it's not stuck to the windscreen.

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with such situations, but I'm guessing the wide-angle is trying to make sense of the exposure.
Some camcorders have an exposure-adjust feature ( e.g. I film at  -0.7 so highlights are protected ), you'll need to RTFM and work your way through the endless Menu settings.
. . . . another "fix" ( if this is a regular thing), would be to make a mount that masks off the unwanted interior, replacing it with a translucent plastic which will be illuminated by the outside light. The effect should be to give the Auto-Exposure a brighter view, so the over-exposure is then within acceptable limits. This can be quite a small piece of kit - but have regard to Health and Safety.
In EDIT you remove these white areas with a crop.
Should you need to see the driver-action then a second Go-Pro (seeing the interior-only), should give a good exposure as well. In EDIT you can cut between these, or use  Slo-Mo to show the action . . . .  ideally with an exterior shot explaining what happened. ( this means ANOther camera for every exterior position )_. but mates may be able to provide footage...?

You said blurred- is this due to movement?  If this is the case then you need one of those electronic Gimbals £300-up- they may be suitable, but inside a Track-Car is a severe environment for filming, IMHO.

Good Luck.
