What is a cup of coffee worth it to you?

Some just want a quick cup.
Some want to talk to someone to get their coffee.
Some make it at home to save money.
Some make it at home to spend time with family or kids or just as part of a routine.

Everyone will tell you a different answer. I would suggest you to look at it this way:

1) what is car control worth to you?
2) do you want to push the car 10/10s at the track and run the high risk of destroying your car? Or do you want to do it at lower limits, pushing 10/10s but much less risk of destroying your car?
3) what type of "car control" do you want to improve on? improving lap times and steady-state cornering at higher speeds is not the same as over/understeer at lower speeds

You should identify what you want to do first before you say yes or no to the mode of instruction.
