How Do I Downshift Properly?

My suggestion would be to look up Heel-toe downshifting via Youtube. You can also catch some good live videos on television during road race events that are broadcasted live. Downshifting

Downshifting is to maximize your braking power via the brakes and the engine. Over revving is a no-no. Hmm, seems some folks on here have never been on the ragged edge slowing a car down quickly. S-mode is nice, it does the throttle input for you. I am kinda old school and like it all to be the drivers skill.
