When someone starts a track discussion with "I'm clueless", I aim them straight to basic car control.
The last place any instructor wants to be is in the passenger seat of a car in a high speed corner that started to lose the tail and should've been easily caught, but instead it spun badly from a bad reaction. All the theory in the world won't teach your right foot to stay on the gas when the tail steps out, you need to experience at slower speeds to learn the basics.
Can you safely drive a track with no prior experience, yes. Is it easier to learn basic car control at parking lot speeds than at track speeds, yes.
