I don‘t think there is only one right answer to the original question, since it depends very much on the car and corner in question.

Certainly going round the inside has got to be quicker than going round the outside up on the banking, but only if the car can do this without drifting or slipping.

I can‘t see a reason for loss of acceleration by riding up the banking. You are generally not driving uphill, rather you are letting the car ride sideways up the banking instead of forcing it to turn a tighter radius. The lateral force which lets you ride up the banking is a different force to the longitudinal force which causes you to accelerate.
