We always do a slow speed Parade lap just to let everyone learn the course. It was not that complicated, but maybe I am jaded after 40 years of Autocrossing. We always do 4 laps for one group, 4 laps for the second group and then swap back to the first group for four more and the second group finishes it up with 4 runs. Everyone get 8 laps total.
We had one guy there yesterday that for sure needs to spend a lot of time at an autocross learning to drive. He had a nice looking Honda S2000. He said he had experience at autocross so we let him go solo on his first run. He was just driving around in random places in short order.
We had him go with an instructor for the next 3 laps. Then for the first time that I remember we had a different instructor for him for the first two laps of his second run group. He said he had it and with pointers from the corner workers he made it through the course for the first time. On his final run he forgot all the tips about how to control a car had took off. He managed to hit one of the curbs way off course that we had warned everyone about. It tore up his front spoiler a little. It did not hurt the curb.
