It's fun when they are showing the PDR with all the various readings.
Also it gives you an idea of what our cars can do. Need to qualify that in that the higher level cars, C06 and ZR1, are built to track. I just bought a new set of tires for mine and there was a set in for a Z06. Those tires were significantly wider in the rear than mine so more traction and more stability in the curves. You need to know you car before you can take it closer to the edge - which you do not want to slip over.

That’s what the owners school is for in Spring Mountain.
You get to PVR your track time and see all this with your own driving as it improves.
Fantastic experience for anyone wanting to feel just what his or her Corvette can actually do. This applies to all the models as they are all there on the same track together. For us laymen... the times and speeds are pretty close for Stingray-ZR1
It becomes pretty clear when the instructor in a Stingray can keep ahead of you on the track when you’re driving a Z06.

Those instructors had us tamed with Camaros in 2016 and so I now rent them whenever I can
