can you ellaborate? I mean.. how do you rev-match when the gear is always engaged?
from what I see.. is that you downshifted, the engine revved-up(while the car also jerks, throwing balance off).. and yes, you're at the lower gear and ready to go.. I can see this from 4th gear to 3rd..
but what if the turn is so sharp, you brake hard, want to go from 4th to 2nd while rev-matching so on the exit you're close to the limit of 6-7K RPM?

or maybe on a road course.. you have to just brake hard.. then when it's slow enough, press the "-" twice to go down from 4th gear to 2nd gear.. and press on from there..

that could work.. but.. it'll take some habits to do..
I'd rather put the gear to neutral, heel-toe to rev-match while braking.. and exit.
