The basic idea is to have a set number of students pay an additional entry fee for the school. They work twice during the event and they are each assigned an instructor. Usually, the instructors get two students each to keep it simple on them and give more instruction time with each student. All students and instructors run in the first run group, regardless of class, and each of the next two run groups is dedicated to one student. During instruction, each student gets unlimited runs, within reason, with the instructor riding shotgun giving pointers and critiquing the student's driving skills.
I had two students, Raul and Kevin, that ranged in experience from one to three years. Both of them had the basics down and didn't have trouble getting around the course so we were able to concentrate on improving their racecraft. It was great to see both of them take my help and improve their driving, especially when it came to being smooth on throttle inputs. Both started off rough enough to get me a bit queezy but by the end of the event they were both very smooth and were in much better control of their cars. Hopefully they hold onto what they learned and improve over the next few events.
If any of the other students or instructors are reading this, I'd love for you to share your thoughts on the school in the comment section.
