Ross Bentley just mentioned this in a recent "Speed Secrets Weekly" - he says he was originally in the "either be WOT, squeezing the throttle, or on the brake with no coasting" but now says that sometimes a short interval of settling the car before getting back on the throttle can help reduce initial understeer and help with carrying the most speed.

I'm so new that I still have only a handful of correct heel & toe downshifts and I have usually over braked so much that I am way slow on every corner entry So this particular tip may benefit me only in the far future...
