Huh? Rev matching while downshifting isn't a new thing. The SRM just uses a computer to assist you in doing so. Down shifting before a turn is used specifically (in racing at least) to assist the brakes in slowing down and allow you to be in the correct gear coming out of the turn at maximum acceleration.
