That's an important point. You can definitely learn all you can handle from an 
instructor if you're a novice...maybe even a veteran of a few events. I was 
thrilled to have an instructor that drove T/A professionally teach me in my car.

What's the most ridiculous car a novice has brought to the track?

Speaking for my own club, our instructors have lots of experience, and have
driven and instructed in many cars. So we typically don't have someone who
somehow only knows how to drive an Acura Integra. I do try to make
instructor/student pairings that "make sense", but a good instructor can
instruct in virtually any car. Also of course we're typically doing this
type of instruction to relatively novice drivers, who aren't wringing the
last 2% out of the car.
