hate to do this to you....but if your're loose off the corner you need to also think about the steering wheels and their relative position.... loose off can be made worse if the front tires are turned slightly....you shouldn't be hard on the throttle until the front wheels are parallel with the desired direction of travel...but if your're still loose off the corner...then youn neeed to do something to shift/transfer weight aft so that the rear tires bite...if under power the car pushes up or towards the outside of the corner and the rear wheels are digging in....then the car is tight off the corner..its all about a progression......but you must start with the condition at entry to the corner ....once you get the car to turn into the corner without being loose....then work towards a more neutral off the corner set-up...you can always withhold power..... a bad push off is worse that loose off because you have to adjust with entry speed rather than just holding back power......slow in makes you slow off better that the car turns in and you feather the throttle off....just my humble opinion
