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.
