its an advanced technique not "essential" to be a very good autocrosser, but its a plus. most people (like me) do not downshift at all at most autocrosses, theres very few times its necessary because the time it takes to shift you can use to get back into the more adventagous powerband. However certain cars do require a downshift, keeping the car balanced is VERY VERY essential to being fast autocrossing. the whole meaning behind "slow is fast" is keeping the car balanced and on line. blu94gt is correct on how its used, i just wanted to add it "can" be used in autocrossing, but it depends on the car and driver combo wether its adventagous or not.
