In the published specs, there isn't a direct reference to having a camera to integrate with the telemetry that is available in the Track Apps, which will be standard on the EcoBoost and GT models. So while you could take readings on track (yes, I saw the photo to which you are referring), I don't think it will function with a video overlay and be saved to storage for download.

If you recall the ces announcement ford said that telemetry will be available to external apps using the cars GPS and accelerometers. Meaning that you will be able to set up a device and plug it in to the car and have it download the telemetry datA as it records then use the device's interface to review the lap as the owner sees fit. Personally I think this is way better than the c7 system. Because manufacturers like go pro or app developers will be able to do what they do best which is build cameras and user interface and ford can do what it does best which is build great mustangs. Secondly having the data already on an external device makes it easy to get it into the cloud for posting online downloading to a laptop etc. fords solution didn't waste any engineering dollars on designing and integrating a front mount camera and will allow experts in that space to do that while still giving a track enthusiast access to telemetry data.
The c7 system post race will be.... hey come sit next to me in the passenger seat and watch my whole lap on the nav screen to see me nail this corner
Mustang system will be... just uploaded a clip of myself nailing turn 6 to facebook check it out
Both will have the telemetry info overlaid....
I always want the most advanced and forward thinking tech but not everyone agrees so there will be those in both camps for which system is better
