Instructors drive in your car that way that to determine the track temp, tire feel, brake feel, all of this will determine how hard you as a student should be pushing the car.

To say he was abusing the car, dude your at a track day.

You get sick driving fast in the passenger seat? Imagine the instructor sitting shotgun with some noob in a 400+whp car who thinks he knows how to drive. If this is still too much, see above. Its a track day, not a sprint on open road.

To not let your instructor drive your car is a big no. They probably club race and have decades of experience on that track. They probably built their own cars many times and can answer al levels of questions, most of all the easy ones.. Tire psi levels, tires, pads, etc. They are not abusing your car, they are driving it the way it was designed. And most are only 8/10ths. They drive like you should be driving after a few sessions.
