Hmm, I think there are many variables innvolved. I can see in some cases where drifting would be faster, such as hairpin turns.Originally Posted by simontibbett
If you were to grip through a turn there are many forces acting against you, where if you are sliding, static friction overcomes kinetic friction. So it just seems logical that sliding would be faster through a turn. I'm no physics guy so correct me if I'm wrong.
