It records at 6-8fps
With the supplied 512mb sd card it records for 1 hour, larger cards can also be used
I am looking at building Mini specific plug & play kits

Approximately how much would you sell it for Mikey?

working on that
How about it covertly fitted when your car goes in for warranty work

Wish I had one when mine did - went in for a hole in the exhaust silencer.
10 mins after dropping it off I was on the way back to work & it passed me!

I run a TV quality bullet camera on my track car mounted in the bumper with a recorder in car recording onto SD card.

Those Action Cams look like a nice compact solution but the quality is pretty poor with lots of pixelation if the action is fast paced

No very good then if you are using it on a track.

no there's better options around, little more pricey but worth it. There also some noce software out that will let you load up you track footage and analyse lap performance

I'd post some links to suppliers but I don't want to hijack Mikeys thread
