After landing in a tailwheel-equipped airplane, the certificated flight instructor (CFI) and the private pilot receiving instruction were requested to exit the runway by the airport's control tower. Based on the airplane's speed and that it had already passed the intersection taxiway, the private pilot reported that he was unable to comply. The tower requested that they exit the active runway as soon as possible. The private pilot tried to exit the runway; however, the airplane's speed was too fast during the turn, resulting in the airplane ground-looping. The pilots noted that, during the ground-loop, the airplane's left gear, left wing tip, and left elevator had sustained damage. The CFI reported no preimpact malfunctions with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The private pilot's loss of control during the landing roll and the certificated flight instructor's delayed remedial action, which resulted in a ground loop.
