brake(hold), clutch (hold), paddle, paddle, paddle, gas (hard blip)+ release clutch, release brake.
remember there is no need to shift all gears down.. at all
when you are braking for a turn, your goal is to slow down to the speed that your car will navigate through that turn. So the only variable here is brake.
once you get down to that speed your next goal is to hold that speed by applying throttle
the whole problem comes from the need to be in your engines proper power band by a) not bogging down b) not over-revving. The first slowing you down and the second causing you to spin.
So this is where heel-toe comes in, you only need to do it once, and you only need to do it the second before you need to get back on the gas.
in the case of paddle shifters you need to give yourself more time, so you simply hold the clutch earlier as you brake and start to machine gun down to the gear you want.
