This is a purely hypothetical situation:

At a recent driver's school, a car owner (entrant) rented a car to a student for a fixed amount. This rental included a fire suit and helmet. (remember this is a 1st phase student with no SCCA expirience and only in SCCA for 1 month)

The entrant teched the car in. In teching the car in the entrant used a different helmet to get the tech sticker than the one he supplied the student. (for arguments sake, let's say he teched in a SA200 helmet to get the tech sticker and supplied the student with a M2000 helmet).

The entrant presented the car to the student and instead of a correct dual shoulder harness set up per the GCR, he installed a "Y" belt setup. (The seat location had to be modiifed for the height of the student)

The entrant knowing the approximate height and weight of the student supplied the student with a fire suit that was, shall we say, too big. (to the point that the sleeves were longer than the students arms)

Presented with circumstances, how would you as an instructor procede to assure the the student could complete their driver's school and what should the ramifications be towards the entrant?
