The rev limiter is only in affect when accelerating. If you down shifted into a lower gear going into a curve then that's called a mechanical over-rev if it went past redline. Usually the back tires lock up momentarily and you get jerked forward pretty hard soon followed by some expletives...ask me how I know It can potentially kill your engine.
