I am not saying a stiff diff, but the diff works and I also had that outside wheelspin, although on much lower speed. if the diff didn't lock as strong or weak, even when loaded, the wheel spin would not happen that long as the car powers out of the corner like in the video, right ?
Doesn't make sense to me. That car in the video was not wheel spinning the outside tire he was stepping over his slip angle then stepping back in. He slightly lifted and caught the slip angle (slight weight off rear) then throttled hard to hold through (weight back on rear hard), had he fully lifted he would of spun in circles off the track, The driver displayed what you call VERY VERY good driving, he must be fast in a Porsche...
Had that been wheel spinning from diff lock we would of seen the inside tire smoking like a monster, as when it's locked and the outside "spun" that would mean the inside tires is going tremendously faster than its turning track requires, ie BOTH wheels would be spinning NOT just the outside. If the Outside wheel spins with a LSD locked so does the inside, the fact you were able to get one wheel to spin no matter what one it is means that diff was far from locked thus impossible to be a tight diff at fault in your case... It would of been a full on drift through the corner in the video, but it certainly was not, just the outside rear catching the slip angle through the corner.
Actually if you overload the outside tires apexing then throttle hard you can spin the outside tire with an open or extremely weak diff wont last long tho lol, certainly not one even close to locked, not without both wheels going...
