This is the bottom line. YOU chose to attend the trackday. YOU chose to ask for instruction. YOU chose to let the instructor drive the car. This is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, NOT the instructor's. Un-expected things happen on-track and it's in bad taste to ask others to pay for it. Now, I have experienced circumstances in which I thought that someone else should have paid for the damages to our Formula Atlantic car. BUT, yours is not one of them. The event organizers have already been more than fair with the two free trackdays, to ask for any more is just not right. Now, I'm not saying that the instructor isn't likely a dumbass. Really he should have been concentrating on showing you the line, rather than pushing the car. But it is all YOUR decisions that put you and him in that position.

Hell, I would let an instructor smash up my bumper for two free trackdays anytime.
