Wifi with good antennas, or a cellular hotspot seems pretty easy.

  Race engines are not known for their lack of EM emissions :) Vehicles are not friendly environments to begin with, race cars are outright hostile territory. Vibration & G forces, interference, fluctuating power, huge temperature variation, aerodynamic effects on antenna and cabling are all factors that will make this quite a bit of work to get to acceptable reliability levels. I like your idea of a cellular hotspot, that might be the easiest way to get to something that works. Compact, no external cabling. That's good. Edit: I tried running a webcam in a racecar in the mid 90's but it never got beyond the planning stage before the obstacles became insurmountable for the budget available, now, obviously a lot has happened in those years and F1 and other racing sports prove on a daily basis that the bandwidth is definitely there if you have the budget, you make me wonder how easy it would be to pull this off today, mostly likely you could just plug it together from some consumer components, a small tablet with a SIM card in a waterproof and vibration isolated enclosure would probably get you 90% there.
