I'am new in photography. Just bought my Nikon camera D7000.
On June 10th I'm going to Montreal F1 reicing. I have Nikon lens 70-300 for that purpose and if someone can help me generaly set up SS/A/ISO in motor-sport. ROW or JPEG format?
Thank you.

Welcome to our forum! That's a very nice camera. I'll be interested in seeing what our members have to say about settings for the race.

I would use shutter priority and your ISO should depend on the lighting, also you should shoot in
Raw and Jpeg if your camera has that setting, especially if you don't know how to handle raw photos at this time. If you are familiar with Raw, then just use that setting. You will need the fastest shutter speed that you can use with the largest aperture that your lens can be set at. Remember straightaways, these cars are moving upwards of close to 200 mph. Try to get near the curves where they have to slow down. I have been to a few races on the Isle of man and it is a great race to watch

Raw takes up lots of space on your card(s), so you'll need several large capacity cards. Your D7000 has slots for two SD cards. You can use the Menu to tell the camera to fill one and then start on the other. Also, be aware that raw files can take longer to load onto your SD card, so that could slow down your shooting.

If you'll take a Newfie's advice, you might also check your camera's focus accuracy.
I had to re-calibrate my D7000.
I used the following website to check & fix.
I did my test with the aperture wide open.
It's pretty easy to do.
