Learning to set the cars up could be interesting, but I think it would take more than a morning or afternoon to develop a reasonable understanding of what changes affect what on the cars for most newcomers, if you include driving a bit to get the feel for changes etc.

We used to do something similar at a Karting center. £25 for a morning’s introduction to driving, the various flags, best lines, forms of overtaking followed by a quick race or practice run dependant on how many people attended. Then after that, more specific lessons ranging from understanding different tyres and pressures to geometry settings etc. Each of these would take about 2 hours as driving, understanding and feeling the difference was key.

James, if I were in your position doing something like opening RHR up to practice days, maybe £10/15 per person would be good. And have someone experienced on hand to provide guidance to the newbies and just watch over preceding. I guess you could book appointments to see them for advice, kinda like a genius bar in a mac store.

Anyway, just running a few ideas up the flag pole, see who salutes
