Question general driving

so ive been driving my stick (95 impreza) for a few years but i never have really figured out whether to push the clutch in when turning or leave it out... can someone tell me what the RIGHT way is? i figure if you leave it in gear then power steering gets more power, etc, but its easier the other way..... what do you think?

In general, if you wanna go fast you should be totally in gear while going through the turn. Right before the corner, rev match your downshift while braking and then power through the turn.

I wouldn't put the clutch in on the track however. Speed and motion causes downforce. That makes you stick to the track.

As for daily driving, it really depends. Like andyf said,
