I am also looking for any explanation on the way of working of limited slip differentials.
Anyone can help?
Thx

Unfortunately it's not as easy as just when the driver gets on the throttle. The diff will play a role in every aspect of the handling from the time the steering input is applied to when the wheel straightens and the lateral acceleration drops to zero.
If you imagine the different components of tractice forces at any point of the corner (be it entry, mid or an exit segment) on each corner of the car (ie longitudinal forces, drag, load transfer etc) and the tractive force on each wheel from the diff will vary the handling.
An open diff will be good as the driver comes off the throttle, but a spool diff will understeer horribly and the diff tries to push the car straight.
