Downshifting
Hey guys of course you can tell Im a noob but when you downshift do you give it a little gas as you downshift or put it in to gear first then gas?
Also what is an unsafe RPM to down shift from?
Sorry I forgot to add. For racing not DD
Thank you

downshift sequence:
-clutch in
-drop gear
-tap the gas (rev-match)
-release clutch
-pedal to the metal/carpet
if you're racing, you want to downshift at a point in your rpm where you wont be hitting redline/limiter. with the amount of tq this car has, you shouldn't have to downshift unless you're below 3.5k rpm or you're on 4th/5th gear. but i dont race/compete so take this with a grain of salt.

Our transmissions are syncronized. Just shift down when its neccesery.
there is no reason to rev match the transmission in the evo, that is a reason why its syncronized for gear selecting. Hence you can get " locked" out.
Many many people.actually does run slower times on tracks because they pay too much attantion on the rev matching.

Tap the gas(rev match)
Drop the gear
release the clutch
Pedal to the metal/carpet.
The right order.
