The more aggressive that you drive will require more "finesse" to get this right.
The best thing I have heard recently is: You Don't use downshifting or the engine to brake the car, that's why we have Brakes!!!  |
And that's why (engine braking) it's a good idea to be in the correct gear for the turn, before you begin your turn... A bad downshift mid-tun can really piss off the rear tires
