You don't get back on the gas until the turn is basically over???

I get on the gas 2/3 to 1/2 of the way through the turn. Of course smooth, gradual application necessary so that you don't get push on exit.

The exit and following straight is where you make you best time. Don't wait, get on the gas sooner. Way sooner.

This brings me back to the problem/concern that if you lift a tire, and are on it hard. When that tire comes back down to contact the ground, you are dumping a hell of a lot of force into the axle and spines. Something has to give eventually, especially if you have some kind of LSD in the rear.

The Torsen has a lot to do with this no doubt.
It goes from being basically an open diff with the ISR in the air to slamming shut when the rear wheel it's the ground again. With the sudden shock to the inside rear, the tail tries to step out on corner exit.
Compound this with a sudden burst of thrust and the car unloads the front wheels... and the center diff freaks out.

But, with all of that said, if my car isn't under steering with the small bar, is there a reason for anyone to run a big rear bar? It seems that rear swaybars in general are falling out of favor in the SCCA.
