That sounds strange. I've only done track events with BMW and Audi clubs, and an SCCA event (and not a lot of them). But, all of them discourage the instructor driving your car, and prefer that the instructor use their car when showing driving techniques. (Got an amazing ride from an instructor in an old A4 Avant that really showed how smooth technique will increase your corner times.)
Occasionally an instructor will drive the student car, but it's more likely when they are old friends and working on car tuning. Not usually part of the driver instruction.
One student with a Porsche Carrera 4 at the SCCA event wanted the instructor to drive it so he could get a sense of the limits he knew he was no where close to hitting. It was a long conversation amongst the organizers and a careful selection of a seasoned racer with Porsche experience before they did that. And none of the instructors were that keen on it, even with such a spectacular ride.
So, maybe your corner of the country is different, but having the instructor joy ride your car seems a bit odd.
