I think a night event is something great to experience once in awhile I don't think I would recommend it for a novice driver. There's too much to focus on during the day for the novice and adding the limited visibility and changing light conditions would only serve to overwhelm a new driver.
For the experienced driver, adding in those added dimensions creates a new challenge on a familiar track. For example, the track out of turn one is dark and the way the lights shine, you can't really see anything. You have to rely on other senses and experience to have confidence there. When your long range vision is limited, you start to see how much information your picking up from your peripheral vision. It's really interesting. As an experienced driver with a BRZ in the land of 911's and Corvettes, the night gives me another advantage on those cars. They tend to capitulate much quicker when my headlights come flying up on them in a dark corner. :)
