This places an enormous burden on the chassis and differential to apply power on corner exit." So sharp turns would quickly lock up the inside wheel listing traction and braking power way too soon. Less lock more traction more deceleration in less time win.
So by reducing the decel lock, it reduces the window where the inside wheel locks up during a turn(?), allowing the LSD to adjust the speed of the wheels while decelerating, meaning more traction in tight corners = quicker times?
