Finally remembered to turn on the camera. Thank you to my lovely wife for showing me how to work a MacBook for the editing.
Highlights and lowlights, Spoiler alert...
The end sucked for me. LOL

Its usually a function called "spot meter", which works by adjusting the exposure settings based on a particular spot in the view finder. Sometimes its selectable, sometimes its a fixed point. The setting is typically somewhere in the "manual mode" section of the camera menus.
I just looked in the manual for your camera, and it does include a "spot meter" function, under "manual settings". Quick cut&paste from the PDF:
Touch the subject in the frame of which you
want to adjust the exposure.
To return the setting to automatic exposure,
touch [AUTO].
Notes
[EXPOSURE] is automatically set to
[MANUAL].It also says that there is a manual exposure option. Again, a cut&paste from the PDF:
You can fix the brightness of a picture
manually. Adjust the brightness when the
subject is too bright or too dark.
Touch / to adjust the brightness.
To adjust the exposure automatically, touch
[AUTO].NOTE: Both options are described in pull on page 65 of the Handycam Handbook. I found the manual here:

Thanks for help Tom. I would like the quality of the video to be better than the driving.

Have you met the wall? Interestingly some people think the other way is safer.It seems just as bad going that way

No but seen it happen a few times.. IMO the way you are running in video is safer than the other way. Coming on start finish straight in the opposite direction is pretty hairy at speed and if you miss, you write off the car.

Seen that happen close up. I don't think running the track CW is safe.
I have seen 2 SM's written off, and big damage to at least 3 others.
