Theory- throttle helps the rear wheel slightly "drift" around turns, creating a tighter turn.

real world practice- on most turns, throttle is good and I have no problem giving it.

A few questions-

are racers using wot around turns?

second, on sharp turns (marked 15mph or so) i have the most trouble. I tend to brake too much and go through them barely holding on to the throttle. It's scary to give it gas when I already feel like i'm going too fast! On these sharp turns, will gas help me to get around better?
