Hello,

Hope everyone is well. I'm finding it very difficult to master the downshift rev-match on the Boxster and it's driving me nuts. Of course the higher the gears, it's a bit better. For example coming from 6 to 5, or max 5 to 4. But the lower gears 4 to 3, or 3 to 2, the revs have to be very precise and accurate or you miss the hole purpose of rev matching. Sometimes I get them right, sometimes I over rev, and sometimes not enough. Is it me, or is the Porsche hard to master the downshift rev match. Anyone have any tips for me? Watched a few videos on youtube, simply in concept, very hard to execute in real life.
