Depends on how much distance you want the background to move. Try using Tv mode and set the SS to 1/60th and move around from there for desired results.

It depends on how much blur you want, how fast you are going, and how well you maintain your position with your chase car, and how steady you are. Just start with 1/60 and see how you like the effect.

I suggest that you use Tv & shoot a series of shots between 1/125 & 1/15. See what you like, then transfer those settings to manual. It's not as if the light will be changing?
And pay attention to the backgrounds while you're shooting.

If this is a friend of yours, just get out and practice. You will start to figure out what works and what doesn't. I suggest getting a set of cheap radios so you can talk to both drivers at the same time. One key is to make sure they are going exactly the same speed. As stated Tv mode will make your life much easier as well...
