Is drifting really faster?

I think we all agree on that NoHachi. But, the question here is purely theoretical. A matter of physics really.

Besides, even if we resolve the issue of "drift or grip" (which IMHO is impossible and pointless) the best we could do is try to make out the cars physics while driving and then try to make minute changes in driving style, braking point, turn-in, etc to incorporate the theory.

Just like the Drift Bible. We've all watched it and I'm shure we all understand what each example means. But will we perform on the track? I doubt it. Performance on track, be it drift or grip, solely depends on seat time and paying attention to better drivers. For example, whenever I meet a driver who's better than me at the track, I give them the keys and take the passenger seat to watch and learn.
