That shouldn't happen to be further forward, more upright? ;-)

Default You're exaggerating the risks of in-turn shifting. With benign street-tires and reasonable ...

... rev-matching it's nothing to be afraid of, at least far less demanding than accurate threshold braking WHILE doing a "blip", which is something I have never been able to do well.

"Trail-braking" means carrying the braking into the turn, no matter if its left or right foot, or whether it's done with heel-and-toe downshifting.

For years and years I've routinely practised very late braking, trail-braking well into turns and only then done an ordinary rev-matched downshift slightly before the apex, even in a good four-wheel drift. With RWD this would have been a lot more demanding, but with FWD or Q it's really not dramatic at all. In fact, I try to make it look like limousine driving: no spastic hand or feet movements, and no jerking the car about, just a sweeping, fluent transition through the various phases of the turn.
