How about the EOS-1N RS? This camera is my personal favorite - I have always felt more confident using this camera for Grand Prix action than anything else until I have tested the EOS-3 with its PB-E2 using the Ni-MH Pack but I still loved the RS model.

While I can roughly estimate how many sharp or slightly out-of-focus pictures with the EOS-3/PB-E2/Ni-MH Pack combination between the rapid-return mirror during continuous focus tracking, with the EOS-1N RS, I knew exactly which frame had the best shot and vice-versa due to its semi-transparent hard-coated pellicle mirror.

250cc GP action sequences with the EOS-1N RS

 

The action sequences above were shot with the EOS-1N RS in its AI Servo AF mode at 5 frames-per-second (fps). However, I stopped shooting momentarily (but with AF still active). When the action got closer until rider No 15 was the only one that could still be seen in the viewfinder area, I immediately resumed shooting again.
