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.

Well, thats the thing, what I mainly want to control isnt low speed over/understeer, its more of the throttle control at the limit so its more like the steady-state cornerning you mention. Im not sure it can be practiced over in autox. Im sure I will still benefit from it, Im not senna after all.

Its interesting to see how different the points of view are here, im assuming everyone clicking on this thread is either interesting or has been doing some kind of autox. It is also good to see that im not the only one who find those prices ridiculous.
