Downshifting is used make sure you are in the right rpm range for the gear you are in. Never use a downshift to slow the car.
Race car drivers never use a downshift to slow the car. When approaching a second gear corner, for example, a racer will never use a downshift to slow the car. He will brake hard and at the same time downshift and rev match so the clutch is never used to slow the car.
