Difficult to accurately diagnose over the internet without experiencing it but wheel hop or inside wheel spin under hard acceleration in corners is pretty common on a race track. We have an open differential which can lose traction and hop in tight corners. This should be avoided as it puts a lot of wear and tear on your transaxle pinion bearing requiring trans replacement (don't ask me how I know this). A gentle right foot that makes the most out of corner exit without wheel spin or wheel hop is the best approach.
