When you do your final gear downshift in anticipation of entering and accelerating through/out of the corner, you should be giving some gas when braking and downshifting (heel-toe or left-right foot brake-gas). This signals the SMG to rev match higher and when it completes the shift, it will start loading the suspension through the turn-in for better balance and a smoother/faster braking/acceleration transition."
Can somebody try this and report back? Is it really this simple?
