Hoping to capture a local race tomorrow on video. Never done one before and haven't the slightest idea of settings for my Nikon D7100, especially which lens to choose or what settings.
Help.
 
If you're going to have any artificial lights in shot, you need to choose a frame rate that correlates with the mains lighting.

In Europe I'd choose 50 frames per second and a shutter speed of 1/100.

Adjust the aperture to get the depth of field you want.

Add gain (ISO+) or Neutral Density filters as required.

Colourspace is fixed, but make sure you white balance the camera - it's difficult to fix in post.
