+1. If you've got enough horsepower to break the wheels loose on corner exit, then you're probably faster going deeper into the corner, braking harder, and using all that power to blast off out of the turn.
But if you find yourself stomping the throttle on the way out of the corner and having traction left over, you're probably faster if you brake earlier and smoother on the way in and try to carry as much speed as possible all the way through to the corner exit.
