This might be true regarding throttle application or entering the corner at the wrong speed, but to maintain speed through the corner you do one of two things:

-Go slow
-Apply throttle to balance the car through the corner optimally

These result in:

-Going slow
-risking accelerating beyond the lateral adhesion limit of the tires before the end of the corner, and then being at the point where if you lift, you lose it when the weight shifts back forward.

Maybe I've got it wrong, though.

You can also wonder about fuel starve with option b.


Throwing more tire up front is helpful, but not enough. I tried playing with sways, and I could never get the car neutral without making it unpredictable.
