Yikes! Makes you wonder what his normal trackday vehicle is then? If it's a low hp or low torque car I probably wouldn't offer up a car to that person.

Personally I have no problem driving a student's or fellow instructors car, but I wouldn't be driving it more than 8/10ths for that exact reason (just drove a friend's C7Z06 @ MidO without issue). There's just so many mediocre instructors out there that "instructor" doesn't mean a lot whole unless you're confident in their ability.

Are you running with DSC or MDM on ? That could make a huge difference.
He is over-braking, or at the very least over-working a system that is known to not to handle repeated or a sustained workload on track. I'm gonna continue to bust his balls until he starts listening

Either do a few "flyer" laps followed by a few slower laps OR just don't brake 100% all the time.
