Obviously there is an advantage because people put down faster lap times when they have a 2 way diff. But I dont understand what it is because with deacceleration locking the diff would only result in more difficult cornering because the rear wheels wanne go straight ahead. It cant be more braking power, your brakes should take care of that, unless maybe braking on engine power has something to do with it......

Sorry! I know answer, but This is above my english . Cars without LSD are more stable in corners. That's because one rear wheel is just rolling. In drifting it's bad thing. So LSD even in decelerating helps rear wheels loose grip. Thats similar to fwd and understeer - front wheels sooner loose grip, because they get torque from engine (and peaple say fwd with LSD has awful handling).
