I’m trying to make a good shot of moving vehicles, but don’t get which settings are best to do that.

I’m using Nikon D750 with kit 24-120mm f/4 lens, the later have following switches for image stabilization:
VR on/off
VR mode normal/active

The manual says that active VR mode are to be used then shots are taken from moving vehicles and I believe that it also should be used for panning.

The shooting settings on camera are “continuous AF” and “continuous shooting”, the shutter speed is usually 1/60.

I tried every combination of VR options (active, normal and even disabled) and still don’t get which are best. I understand the technique itself requires some practice, but want to know how to configure my camera+lens to learn properly.
