Yes, but not there, on that course config in a high HP/weight car. And in general, you start off with the brake and work back to just a lift. Your spin clearly shows you did need it.
If we had been going left instead of right at the top of the hill, you might have made it without one, but probably not. That corner is tighter than the previous 2 even then.
You can left foot brake, if you already have that skill, but even that you need to play with to see if it actually accomplishes the desired affect. There are times that all it does is cause the already light front wheels to go into immediate understeer.
A lift only works well if you are just dumping enough speed to allow for a relatively large radius turn where your current speed would take you over 100% traction usage in the corner. It typically does not transfer enough weight to aid significantly to turn in with a sharper corner. You are often better off to carry more speed further, brake harder, turn harder and get back on the gas as soon as possible.
Effectively a lift is just throttle steering before/at turn in. A brake significantly transfers weight in comparison.
