Yes, you can.
Follow the race car going down the track through your viewfinder and click the shutter while still following the car. Keep the camera on the car just as if it were a movie camera. If you have an autofocus camera, hopefully there is a lock feature on it. If there is, use it, so you don't give the autofocus system a nervous breakdown.
The result, if you do it right, is that the car will be sharp and clear and the background will be blurred a little, giving your image the sensation of speed.
There are some examples on my Flickr page:

Practice a little if you can, maybe shooting cars going down the road untill you are smooth.

If the racing car swifts in a bright shining day, no doubt, you will get a picture in1/250 or 1/500 sutterspeed and an open aperture of f2.8 or f1.8 or below that. it doesn't need an advanced camera to shoot with. If the light is not so bright, don't worry, make the shutter speed lower and pan the camera with the moving car by sitting somewhere.It needs a good practice to pan the camera unshaky to follow a fast moving car...try it.

Yes. It would help a lot if the car was coming toward you. That would minimize the blur. However, even point-and-shoot cameras can manage some fairly quick shutter snaps as long as there is plenty of light.

There are 3 components that straight away impact exposure. a million. Aperture 2. Shutter velocity 3. ISO putting (sensitivity of the action picture, or of the image sensor in digital cameras) you have suggested you like a quickly shutter velocity to seize the quickly-shifting merchandise. a quickly shutter velocity - different 2 components last unchanged - will effect in much less easy being captured by technique of the image sensor, and the effect is what think ofyou've have been given, i.e.: an under uncovered image. in case you employ a quickly shutter velocity you could purely counter the effect by technique of using the different 2 components, i.e.: aperture and ISO. you could the two open up the aperture (use a extensive aperture/low f variety), use an more desirable ISO putting, or the two. As you be attentive to changing the aperture will impact the intensity of fileld, subsequently commencing up the aperture to get in extra easy will effect in a shallow DoF. If shallow DoF is undersirable then you fairly've purely one thank you to head: jack up the ISO until you get the needed exposure.

Don't do what has been suggested and turn the flash on (a) it could blind the drivers but. (b) you will be too far away for it to work - built in flash only extends to about 10 feet. What you can do, however, is learn to pan, that is move your camera round with the car squeezing the shutter release, and continuing to move - from your hips. YOU will need to practise!

yes, there is a way to fool the automatic shutter on most inexpensive digital cameras -- turn on the flash (which is usually set on automatic, so set it on manual). the speed of the flash -- very fast -- will determine the shutter speed. good luck!

Only if you are moving as fast as the racing car.
