I chuckled in the beginning of the video after the instructor was briefing the student and he said "if i get scared I'll yell out, slow down asshole!". I had an instructor like that once. It was my very first track day at a FATT event. As soon as the instructor sat down in my car, he depressed the clutch pedal and said "Whoa, I have to drive this fu*^&$g thing!" Now mind you this was my very first track day, my expectations were basically to get my car back into my garage in the same condition that it was in at the beginning of the day, and I had a complete stranger calling my car a POS. So instead of getting upset or frustrated I listened to what he had to say and followed directions. By the end of the day, John turned out to be an outstanding instructor.
I had a feeling that when that instructor said he was just going to sit there and let the student drive and would give him suggestions at the end of the session progressed that he wasn't going to sit there and keep his mouth shut.
