if you hit the brakes you might need a new car, yours might be totaled.

I just got done with 160 minutes of track time on the new Miller Motorsports Park track and I only experienced honest-to-God oversteer once. Exiting turn #2 at about 5000rpm in 3rd gear.
Every other corner I braked with the car straight and accelerated with no tire slippage. I'm on 245/45/17 Hankook RS2s and COBB front track pads. Chassis is amazing.

I've got a 24mm rear Hotchkiss Swaybar and stiffer/lower springs. Helps at with car turn-in. With the stock suspension, you can induce oversteer, but control it with your right foot... when it starts to come around, give it gas and steer towards the spin slightly. It's fun!
After my swaybar was installed, with bald rear tires, I could drifted the EVO at about 80 mph around a full sweeper exit (speed limit is 35 mph on the exit). You can practically hang the rear out with speed and gas / lift / gas / lift to keep it sliding FUN, FUN.
At the track, I don't try such funny tricks.. try to keep it smooth and neutral. The strut bar, along with the sway bar is supposed to HELP introduce more OVERSTEER (tightening up the rear of the car is help it turn, and not push forward = UNDERSTEER)... some posts ago, some guy got the two mixed up.

Dealing with real track situations in a pack calls for subtle inputs from both pedals along with knowing the line and limits of your vehicle.
I would not stand on the brakes in a turn, but you must be ready to modulate velocity under a myriad of challenges. The most important aspect of course is exit speed, so at the apex and beyond (assuming that you have not apexed too early) you sure don't wish to use brakes because you'll lose time.
However, to state issues as absolutely as you have here, during a race on a crowded track is its own invitation to disaster. Generally it is better to drive off the track than to spin on the track, but a good driver has encountered both circumstances and seeks to avoid both.
Otherwise you will crash and endanger yourself and others.
