Drifting is faster but only if you live in japan, drive on a mountain and have tofu in the back of your AE86. Grip obviously faster on tarmac/pavement lol… already been stated so whys this still alive? If anyones ever seen clay track racing they drift every turn, also good on gravel. I doubt its good on granular sand or terrain climbing. (I could be wrong, someone try to drift up an inclined plane for science, please.) ---

If anyones ever seen clay track racing they drift every turn, also good on gravel. I doubt its good on granular sand or terrain climbing. (I could be wrong, someone try to drift up an inclined plane for science, please.) LOL +1 Anyways, you’re right about grip being faster on tarmac/pavement. It’s already been mentioned above. Some people are still idiots and think that you can be faster if you’re drifting through turns on pavement. ---

Actually, the fastest way around the track is to either: a) convert your car into a hovercraft and drive off-road b) add wings to your car and fly around the course ---
