There was a video out by WH Snith's a few years ago called @Lap of the Gods' which was a compilation of some of the best laps filmed by Alain Boisnard, who was commissioned by Elf to make films of the cars they sponsored in the late 70s and early 80s. He used proper cine-film, rather than beaming a signal up to a receiver and many of the drivers gave it their all for the camera.
This video features Adelaide (Tambay/Renault); Anderstorp (Andretti/Lotus); Brands Hatch (Mansell/Lotus); Detroit (Piquet/Louts - he crashes! - and Cheever/Renault); Hockenheim (Pironi/Tyrrell); Imola (Warwick/Renault); Kyalami (Prost/Renault - could sit and watch this one all day...); Long Beach (Depailler/Tyrrell); Monaco (Prost/Renault and Depailler/Tyrrell P34); Montreal (Depailler/Tyrrell - pouring with rain but he really guns it!); Monza (Laffitte/Ligier); Osterreichring (Cheever/Renault and Tambay/Renault); Silverstone (Jabouille/Renault); Spa (Tambay/Renault); Watkins Glen (Pironi/Tyrrell); Zandvoort (Prost/Renault) and Zolder (Lauda/Brabham).
Apparently, the video is compiled from Lap of the Gods Parts 1 and 2, which may still be available separately.
Also available on video (from Duke) is Posrche 956 In Car Experience, in which Derek Bell drives around the full Nurburging, Fuji, Le Mans (pre-chicanes), Spa, Brnads, Silverstone and Kyalami. Spectacular stuff.
There are also In Car BTCC videos available, but they tens to just give in car shots from the races, rather than full laps.
Where did you find your onboard laps?
