It is simply a dream experience for folks that would normally never have the opportunity to get into a true supercar on a race track. Value for track time $$ is low but still a rush for some.
There is a belief among some that putting a green driver in one of these powerful supercars is a huge risk to car and driver but actual statistics suggest that they are very cautious and drive well below the car's capability. I instruct in supercars quite a bit and the classroom briefing, instructor introduction, and guidance, set up a pretty safe environment. We talk about what if the car catches fire, what if we put it on the roof, and the 1st rule of performance driving: "Just don't hit stuff" so the student driver is keenly aware that they need to keep things reeled-in if they want to have a fun yet safe experience. Nobody really wants to take an ambulance ride on their intro track day. In 15 years of instructing in these cars, no one has really scared me yet.
