Instructor....DEFINITELY an A&&HOLE! deserves a broken bone IMO.
However, what kind of hipster DOUCHEBAG drives a super car with ONE HAND!!!!! One that ISN'T a man! Someone needs to take his man card and *****. I'd like to bitch slap that idiot.
Ok... I'm done.

Wow how cool and it only cost him 99 dollars. Now that is a great afternoon experience. Drive a nice car, cause 100,000 damage and all for 99 dollars.
What a great country we live in. Might go to Florida this year for a vacation.

I love how the driver is in the hunched, leaned-over "Trolling for Ladies" position while driving around a parking lot. And all the instructor can do is tell him to punch it when it clearly wasn't even ready for half the power a Fax machine can muster.
"Oh sorry dude, it's way faster than my Kia."
Yuk,yuk.

Was this really a parking lot? Impossible to tell from the video.
FWIW - these ride & drive events are NOT HPDE's!! These are people paying to have a bucket list experience. They might receive 20 min of classroom. They are generally required to buy a minimum insurance policy (scaled to the value of what they choose to drive) which will likely double or triple their event cost (but in no way represent "true" insurance cost).
In my experience as an instructor at this type of event that travels from track to track, bringing exotic cars with them - we were told to find out what the client wants to achieve. If they want instruction: fine, show them the line, explain proper inputs, where to look, etc. But most people just want to drive the car and our job was to keep them and the car safe, to make it fun and exciting. All in roughly 5 min (+/-). Maybe these experiences vary greatly but the one I used to instruct was definitely NOT HPDE. In fact we were instructed NOT to take the wheel unless imminent disaster was in store. Just get them around the track safely - have fun - and then they hop out and the next one jumps in (repeat x 500). Most people were respectful and drove WAY slower than you'd think - but there was that small percent of idiots that made it very dangerous which I why I don't do it any more.
If you want high performance driving instruction, you either go to a race school, or an HPDE. Ride and drive is a "thrill" ride akin to a roller coaster, only you pay to be behind the wheel, and mistakes can be fatal and/or very expensive depending on the situation (as seen in the Las Vegas crash).
This driver, and the right seat passenger, were lucky. I say: "right seat passenger" because I would not insult fellow instructors by calling THAT GUY an instructor.

It's a parking lot. They do these types of exotic events for low cost because it's in a parking lot. It's total garbage, but for people who are clueless about cars and performance driving it is fun for them
