M is really the best to avoid any variables (exposure changing due to moving scene). Take your reading, set the camera. Start tracking your subject, release shutter and follow through in tracking for a nice, smooth pan. If you have an IS lens and it has a mode switch, use mode 2. La Vida Leica!

Manual mode would be far better for racing. Why? It's because the color and reflectivity of the subjects change often, even though the lighting is the same. The meter in the camera is fooled by that, and every shot could be exposed a little differently. This I totally agree with. Although of course it depends on the weather. If it's a part-cloudy day and the lighting conditions are changing on a frequent basis, then you're better off in TV mode. Otherwise trust in your light meter and manual mode.

This shows how the subject can affect the exposure & why manual keeps me worry free: FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...
