Using throttle to control cornering arc?

I think in limited traction situations the benefits/application options are diminished.


I find, though, that cornering arc decreases with the input of throttle and increases with throttle reduction.

I must be doing it wrong.

You aren't doing it wrong but you aren't at the threshold of traction.

It should be even more obvious in low traction situations (think ice).

Here is an extreme example but it shows it well.

If he used less throttle, he could hold a tighter line, more throttle pulls him toward the outside of the turn.
