Depends on what yer driving.
Rules are different with a solid axel and no diff.
Rules are also different with high downforce.

There are solid axel vehichles out there where the weight is going to concentrate on the outside wheels leaving the inside wheels almost, or actually floating.
With a lack of differential not being on throttle will cause understeer that has to be overcome by even more steering angle.
This is because the outside rear under engine braking will be dragging against the desired direction of rotation.
It creates a massive friction fight, kills momentum and cornering force both.
In such a vehichle, feathering on throttle after corner weight transfer is akin to pushing the rear corner of a peice of paper across your desk.
Less steering angle is required, better conservation of momentum, and higher cornering force.

proper throttle application is at the apex. this will also help you learn how much of a late apex you should be taking. on the power before the apex = too late. on the power after the apex = too early.
