Conservation of Momentum- Good or Bad?

Ok, So I have a selection of RWD cars, and a love of sweeping corners...

Quite regularly, I'll use the grip and capability of the car to maintain high (relatively!) speeds in the corner.


Am I om doing this of would DFCO engine braking be a better bet?

I can see it reducing wear and tear on the car, but I'd still have to get back upto pace after the corner?


I'd be interested on what your thoughts are on this!
