If you are using understeer to slow the car into a turn, you are probably braking too early. Generally speaking, if you are "coasting", time is being wasted. In an ideal world, you are either braking, or accelerating. Granted, we don't live in an ideal world, but either you should be either using steady throttle or accelerating through a turn.
At recent track day an intermediate group driver asked to ride with me after he had car trouble. After the session, he told me that there was a BIG difference in the driving level between intermediate and advanced, to him the thing that really stood out was that I was never coasting, I was either on the brake or the throttle. It took me a few years of racing 10 to 12 times in a season to get to the point where I was able to drive like that! It takes track time to work up to that, so practice, practice, practice.
