Mask tracking

Question

Hiya folks, I'm trying to mask track a fleet of these machines in this video and, as for the last 6 years, I can't get mask tracking to do it's job properly.
I know it's not the most contrasty video and it disappears on and off screen, but can anyone give me some up to date tips to actually get MT to work? Even if the tip is, "You have no hope, mask Tracking can't do what you're looking for"

I'm using Prem Pro Beta (have had same issue on all previous versions) RTX 4070, I7 CPU, Windows 11.
Footage is HLG from a Panasonic GH5S. I've tried slowing down and speeding up, I've tried nesting, I've tried proxies on and off.

Cheers folks!!!

I would mask backwards, starting when the car is still in full view until it just about to disappear behind the wall.

The rest I would do manually

Tried backwards too, but ended up doing it all manually.
Cheers for the reply though!

If you're trying to mask that robotic device across the carpet, that would be better done in AfterEffects. Which has a vastly more robust set of masking/tracking tools.
