Same idea as if you go through a corner that you could be in 2nd gear for in 3rd, you will push like crazy because the weight isn't being put on the front wheels from the engine braking.

(I believe he does that as well) I do, using the brakes will shift the weight to the front, and that is the moment that shifting to a lower gear and giving gas you gain control of the car, and with some oversteer the turn is complete.

but this need to be a smooth.
