Green and Blue always have an instructor in the car, usually with a headset so they can talk you around the course. Once you become proficient - and master heel and toe, proper cornering, etc. you can graduate to solo (the yellow group).

If I would have known 20 years ago what I know now, I would have bought a beater Porsche 944 or something and started tracking it then. It's about as much fun as you can have with your pants still on.
