Does EVERYONE in PR drive an auto?

Downshifting is when you drop down a gear for whatever reason, the most productive of which is entering a turn... you want to be in the gear that is going to put you at the optimal point in your powerband for when you're exiting the turn. If you enter a turn at 45 MPH but take the turn at 25 MPH and you're still in fourth gear, you're going to crawl off of the apex and come out of the turn slow. If you drop down to second gear before entering the turn, though, not only will you not have to brake as hard going into the turn, but you'll be in a good gear for when you're coming out. You'll exit the turn as fast as you could have.

Maybe someone with some track experience can refine this a bit.

Ya... I meant to give the gas pedal a quick hit of gas. For example, say you're driving down the highway in 5th, then a corner is coming up... you can let your foot off the gas and start to slow down... when you get near the corner, you put in the clutch to down to downshift to 3rd... just before moving your right foot over to the brake, you hit the gas while the clutch is in to rev the engine... then when you let go of the clutch in 3rd, the revs are matched and the car doesn't suddenly slow down too much. I do it on my motorcycle... I've only recently started doing it on my car, so I'm asking how other people downshift! Always learning!

I probably could learn a thing or two... about driving and about Puerto Rican women. Ooh la la.

And yes, blip means to tap the gas.
