I had the recent pleasure of having one on one instruction with data to help sort the car and driver recently. It was amazing. I shaved over a second off my personal best at Gingerman with technique and another second the following day with car setup changes done the night before. So yeah.... getting that personal one on one is definitely worth the money if you want to better yourself!

Instruction cuts more time per dollar than any mod I have ever seen, plus, you can "install" it on the next car. 

Any novice who asks about mods,  I tell them to buy their safety gear first (Helmet and HANS is the minimum), then add up their mod budget for coilovers, tires, wheels, etc etc and spend that much on coaching, THEN go buy the mods. THe skills learned will make the benefit of future car mods even greater.
