Correct. I agree with you there. But like I initially said, it happens only in the beginning. Once the inside wheel slips on continuous power from the drivetrain, both inside and outside will lock and will have a tendency to continue to spin at the same rate.



Correct. But I think that happens only on an ideal situations where you do not get any slipping in the inside wheel which is impossible because the outside wheel gets more pressure than inside wheel due to the turning.

Once outside wheel is powered, both inside and outside wheels will be driven at the same time and the inner wheel will continue to slip controllably following the same outside wheel spin rate.
Yep, you are right! the only remark I would make is that this only happens when power outweighs available grip and for me, I gently accelerate out of a corner, meaning at least during the first part of the corner exit, the inside wheel won't/shouldn't loose traction.
