I was looking at Harry's Lap timer http://gps-laptimer.de/Home.html it looks very capable and only $20 for the pro version. It looks like it can use the camera directly in the iphone for video, the GPS and accelerometer built into the phone, and can integrate with OBD II for engine data (rpm, wheel speeds, voltage, temps, throttle position etc). Seems like it is as capable as a 1000$ Data system that I was looking at a couple years ago but this one is $20. But the GPS is as limited as the phone and they recommend something with a higher frequency (as mentioned by Eskimo). What I couldn't find so far is how does the phone connect to the OBDII of the vehicle? A quick google search: http://www.amazon.com/goPoint-Technology-O...e/dp/B00336S7KS $99 for a cable.

How do you overlay video on to the app? You need special software? My camera will be a Flip HD. Trackmaster looks pretty good. How do you get around having that big Ass phone holder on the front glass? Please show your setups.
