Ill try it, I arrive at this tight right hander at Putnam in 4th and I suppose it will save time to go down to 2nd at once.
Yes.. you're approaching that tight corner in quite high speed... It's possible to do it in both ways but I prefer to go down from 4th to 2nd. But of course you'll have to make a deeper blip, as gplay says. Also it's important because otherwise you'll spin... The car comes out from a fast right bend before braking so it's easy to spin if you don't match engine revs good enough. But I'm sure you understand that ;D
But it's true that I'm not using this technique as often as before. I prefer to go through all gears and using enginebraking, too. But for some corners it's useful I think.
For laptimes I've never noticed any difference
