Trailbraking and oversteer etc , sure those work but technically those are workarounds for special circumstances.
Like odd surfaces or special combinations in corners.

In a single turn
a consistance turn angle
even surface
Straight line in
Straight line out
There would be only 1 way to get through it in an ideal way fastest way for a specific car
and it would not involve trail braking with oversteer.
or it would have to be a hairpin bend.. a hand brake turn so to speak

Which well you'de probably want the clutch in for that so your engine does'nt stall along with the wheels stopping
this doesnt make sense at all.

trail braking, or as we call it, braking properly, does not mean you are oversteering. and braking properly will always be faster than releasing the brake before turn in.
