That's a really simplistic view.


If you're new to roadracing, I recommend open diff or VLSD, honestly. They're more forgiving and you can get away with sloppy throttle and brakes.
I would disagree with that. If you were autocrossing and using the lift-and-rotate technique, then it would slow you down. You want to stay in traction on the tighter autocross courses. I've tried doing autocrosses with a 2-way and it was a handfull. Luckily for me the course layout was big, with high-speed, wide-radius turns so I was able to fast-drift the course and finish in the top 5 (Miata club outing). Roadracing you should be ok with a 2-way as long as your transitions from throttle to braking are smooth.
