this is my take on two or more gears being shifted...... ( and ive only been racing for 8 months and am 17 years old, but this is my thought). the reasons for downshifting include helping you slow down, and being in the right gear to exit the corner. and i downshift only one gear at a time, and i do that because i see it as getting the maximum engine brake out of every gear. if you skip a gear you skipped an oportunity to stop faster. If you skipped a gear that means there was a period of time where the gear that was skipped could have been used. yes it might be complicated to downshift 4 times in the same corner, but in my eyes if you did make all those downshifts (now this is assuming your to the point where you dont really think about downshifting you just do it) you maximized all/more of your brakeing potential. idk i guess i just see it as if you skip a gear you skip and oportunity to stop faster. because theoretically if your comfident enough to bang through all those gears (meanign not letting the thinking part slow you down) and could do it perfectly. hitting all the gears would slow you down quicker and safer. now all this is just my thoughts, but as i said im only 17 and only have 8 months of experience so i could be wrong. but i understand and practice finger-palm shifting so im gonna through my 2 cents in hahah.
