Drifting but it depends alot on driver ability...but with drifting you spend less time moving through the turn and you can accelorate out faster..or something like that

theres different types of drifting too like the show off kind and the high speed kind, maybe the high speed could be faster than grip. IDK

well hmmm....Drifting is good for like city/street races....oh and dirt tracks....but if your on a circular track (like nascar) that is paved...grip is like key in winning those races...so it all depends on the type of race and the type of road....i personally like drift

drifting is cool, but it's only used to show off a drivers ability to handle a car. grip driving is no doubt the fastest way around a turn in most cases, plus when it comes down to real racing, drifting eats up your tires like crazy. you'll be having to make pit stops every few minutes. if you've ever watched japanese vids with high performance cars, they usually race using grip driving, and the same thing goes for other types of racing such as F1, you never really see them drift around the corner.

so when it comes down to it, drifting is for show, gripping is for go.

Drifting may eat at your tires more but....in a single lap race....drift is better....your not lossing as much acceloration when using drift....and your comin out of the turn at a better angle to go.....with grip you have to move out side the then goin to the turn then out side again...thus covering more ground goin a further distance....with drift your goin it to it wide but go threw it on the inside and comeout on the inside....so you cover les ground....drift is faster
