drifting is not done to be fast.
it's done as an "art" per se.

the fastest way around a track is grip. no question.

don't think that grip drivers don't slide their cars around some corners, however.

turn 9 at mid-ohio is a common place to see drivers sliding the back of the car slightly to get around the corner.

drift is, by nature, all show.
it's not timed, it's scored by judges. of course it's show.

and there's nothing wrong with that.
