Thats what I have been practicing with some good results so far. All braking done in the straight before the turn in and gradually adding throttle from corner entry to apex and hard acceleration from apex to corner exit. It really helps when your rear is a little loose because the weight is transferred to the rear before the weight shifts laterally to the outside of the car. You have to be precise though. Too much too early and you push into a wide corner exit that may cause you to lift and lose the time you gained.
