Presume you are entering a corner, using MAX braking, with a little turn into the corner.

Downshift, a gear lower, without rev'ing the engine. IF you are already at MAX braking, the instant you let out the clutch (with a low engine rpm), the rear will lose traction, and you swap ends.

If you are NOT driving at the limit, the nose will dive a little, you will notice a speed decrease. AND you be watching the competition in the distance.

Just my way of thinking.
