well the thing is, when we're out in the sun like that there is ALOT of sunlight available for the camera to adjust the aperature and the shutter speed for you.
so the camera will likely pull a moderate aperature for decent depth of field, but with those low aperatures the shutter speed will have to compensate for a SUPER fast speed. 1/5000ths etc.
most motion will be totally stopped by 1/500th. so what i did was cranked up my aperature. f22 and lowered my shutter speed. like 1/100 - 1/180th. if you were to just try and snap photos of moving car at this speed they will probably be blurry, but if you pan with the moving car while taking photos you can get the background to blur and the image your panning with to stay in focus.
just practice on moving objects. it takes alot of practice to time it correctly and maintain the object your panning with to stay in focus. i took about 500+ photos from saturday and sunday combined and have to go through them on my pc at home to cull out that out of focus ones.
hope this helps = )
