The instructor has countless laps around the course, so you couldn’t expect to match him, but as a student I’d appreciate that eye opening ride at the beginning.
Perhaps others on this forum who have been instructors could add their perspective? Maybe beginners would try too hard, get out of shape too often trying to do as the instructor did? Better to ease into car control without being a hero?

For the regular 2-Day M School and Advanced M Schools, you will get a ride along before the exercise begins. They'll show you the course, make some points, and then push it hard. Then you'll get back in your car for lead-follow and build up speed.
The hot laps are all nannies off, which won't happen during your session (MDM only)
