You are correct in that most people driving on the road will not really have to worry about it, and unless you are driving your car on a track day like you would a race car you probably may not experience that potential problem either. There are racers, including myself, who do start getting back on the throttle before hitting the apex on most corners.

I would suggest that if someone were to do a track day that they should consider making sure that they do not fall much below half a tank of gas, as most gas tanks have a single pickup and the fuel will slosh from side to side (baffles and foam will mitigate it somewhat, but will not stop it completely) and the fuel pump could suck air instead of fuel.

The intent of the thread was to stimulate a conversation. There are no universal rules and so much comes into play and is engine and driving style specific.
