Rev matching is related to the above, but you can use this technique to downshift, and it is a bit easier on your drivetrain when done well, but it takes a lot of practice to be good at it, especially with throttle by wire cars.

Basic rev match, try this... at steady speed and low rpm's, go to neutral, rev the engine +300 rpm's and shift to the next lowest gear. When you're good at it, you can do it quickly, and let the clutch out much quicker without upsetting the car.

Get good at that and we'll go to rev-match while braking
Thank You, that is excellent input!!!

I love the Racing Quotes...
