Oh yeah, man... I've always got to swing it out. Not only is it way more fun, it's faster! On the same tires, if I try to do a grip lap, I go around corners painfully slowly... but with drift, I get more control, and it's way faster.
That's actually how drifting originated. There was one racer in Japan, with the Japanese touring car series back in the nineties or whenever. I forget his name right now. But he always found it faster to drift rather than grip, and then the people started coming to the races just to see him drift... hence drifting is what it is today
Little history lesson there
