No telemetry, if you're good enough they'll ride in the car with you (by good enough I mean if you don't make them sick after 2 laps) but they'll start off with you following them and having them show you the line and stuff then switch with you in front them in the back and they'll tell you what you're doing wrong or right in real time via radio. If you're pretty much getting everything right in terms of braking turn in apex etc you'll basically be enjoying a bunch of laps on the track, otherwise they'll have you slow down the pace and really work on getting the timing and positioning on the track right. Now here's the thing every instructor is different, and everyone has a different line to a certain extent. So you might find someone that tells you to drive completely opposite of what you're used to. And that's not a bad thing, it gets you out of your habits and then you can piece together what you like and make your own line eventually. As far as telemetry you can always bring your own, including cameras so you can see how close or far you are from hitting an apex and stuff if you want (so you're not starting at your mirrors and looking where you need to go)
