A pretty inflammatory article that misses more than it hits. I have been instructing with PCA for 9 years and serve as CDI for our region events these days. I have instructed in nearly everything from 400hp Carrera, 650hp GT2RS, Z06, 944 LS3 and I think there is very low risk if you have good command of the car and driver from the right seat.
We manage to fill our PCA DE instructor spots pretty well and our safety record is as good as anywhere. To the instructor that feels "the cars are too fast now" I simply suggest he get more instructor training. We do instructor training every year and have another event coming up in October. If you as an instructor lack confidence, the student senses this and thats when things can go sideways, literally.
