As long as the student is not driving in a wreckless manner, the odds of an accident are slim. I did have one Porsche Driving Experience School at Sebring years ago and I was chief instructor for that day as I had arrived early for a weekend of BMWCCA HPDE and club races starting that afternoon. The program was follow the leader style, which I absolutely despise. My fears were realized on the last lap, and one participants arrogance cost 3 people their lives, and destroyed surviving family members as a result of millions in damages awarded from lawsuits. This incident made insurance coverage mandatory for all driving school programs.

Can you direct us to an insurance company that sells such insurance (when using school's car instead of your own)? It is not available through BMW. (I asked.)
