Might be photographing McLean cars around a race track tomorrow. Need to know of some good settings (AF in particular) for fast moving cars. Should I set the AF sensitivity to Slow, Middle or Fast?, What about left and right assist?

I shoot one position towards Slow from the middle, so if your focus point falls of the subject it won't change to fast. I also use the surrounding AF points. Cheers... jim

Hey I was wondering if these are the settings you still currently use for moto. I have a 1d mark iv and 70-200 2.8 and currently have some trouble with focusing. If you could PM me that would be awesome! Looking at your shots they’re great!
