Indeed. I heard more than a few very experienced track people say "you almost have to anticipate it."

Oh, I'm not saying I the driver downshifted. The car/DCT does it by itself.
In several spins I was in, I'd be in S3 at the beginning of the spin and, when the car came to a stop, it's in S1.
I even have a helmet-mounted video showing the dashboard in one of those spins where, somewhere during mid-spin, it changes from S3 to S2, then once the car came to a full stop, it changed to S1. I was too busy w/ the steering and throttle to be doing anything w/ the gear, including trying to put the DCT into N.
