Mid daylight, vehicles moving at 160-200 km/h, stand 10-25 meters away.

Any help please,

Thank you.

What type of shots are you trying to take? What type of motorsport? What type of shot are you trying to get (Head on, 3/4, panning)

With that gear I would hope you could setup your own camera.

Here it is stated more clear, i post on behalf of a friend, hie discription below.

Hi guys, im the friend just asked Delko to post it on my behalf,,and thnx for the replies so far. I fully understand the basic principles of conditions and variables,,brightness, distance,,speed etc. My main question is,,if i prefer to use TV(shutter priority) and i wud maybe select a "case" lets say case 3 as a shortcut,,what would be the best settings under the menu of "tracking sensitivity, accel/decel tracking. AF point auto switching" and customizing AF functions,,,any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As i either use 70-200 f2.8 mkii or 300 f2.8mkii.
