On a bike iirc when you coast you loose stability though a turn. I assume you would translate this into body roll and excessive weight transfer with a car on the track?

Not positive I understand exactly what you mean. But if you go into a corner and ur back end starts to loose grip assuming u are not currently foot to the floor, add a little bit of throttle and you will transfer weight to the rear creating more grip and preventing a spin. This is why we throttle at the apex. Now late apex and double apex turns just take practice. In a car it's all about where the weight is shifted too. Having 4 wheels instead of 2 allows for more options IMO. But I was never big on bikes.
