your question is very vague...
if you are just trying to control the transition...(if downshifting) I'll clutch in, and brake while shifting, and once it's engaged, that's usually enough time for the car to settle.
same gear on throttle: stay on the gas, when the car is starting to transition...just tap the brake (with left foot while still on gas)...not lightly...not hard....just a good 50% love tap...usually settles the car.
In tandem: If you are coming in hott, and the guy is going toooo slow....clutch in, brake, and e-brake until you are at a good speed, let off the brake and get on the gas...right when you let off the brake, you should be releasing the e-brake...and get back on the gas.
I used this with cody...one of the MULSANNE guys...when he upped his power significantly, I told him to rest his foot on the brake (left foot...)..everytime he felt his crazy boost kick on, i told him to apply a little pressure...you can do this during drift, or transition...it helps distribute weight and power smoothly. (if i'm making sense). and once he was used to the response...he used it less and less. I now hear he drives that thing like a boss! Hope this helps.
and for the future Q's...please...track, entry speed, car, power, and setup will answer some of these questions easier and more thoroughly than what i'm spewing out.
and obviously...everyones driving is different...dont' "just" listen to me.
