manual flash is the way to go for this. you could do a test shot or two to make sure the flash is at the right settings. I'd consider going no higher than say 1/8th power, because you could fire off several shots as needed. If you had to go 1/4 and up, id consider getting both flashes up to fire manually so they share the load.
as for shutter speed, the 1/125th seems low, and really only affects the headlights. May best be served by 1/250th or so to make sure you dont get any ghosting from vehicle movement.
last comment: consider putting those flashes on a stick. on camera flash will light the people in front well, but fall off fast, and those people in the front would get the deer in the headlights look. also, vehicles and direct flash results in tons of weird speculars
Raising the flash high up creates a bit of distance between the flash and the people in the front, but doesnt make much diff to those in the back. that would light them more evenly, and if you get the flash high enough, the look is nicer, in my opinion.
im crazy, so ignore this part. but if it were me, id consider a second flash away from me, pointing directly at the crowd in back, gelled with the team colors. now youre painting your bg and adding some style to it. then id have the main flash up and behind me, and use it to paint just the car nearest me, which would then "feature" them. do that for each vehicle, and you have your shot.
tldr; yes use a manual flash
