And like most people, learned grip driveing first becouse it easier and simple to do. I know that for a fact already that if I drifted around the track, I would have a slower time.
I can only answer the question from myself years from now when I reached my peak as a drifter.

Grip simple? Ok buddy, so how many autocrosses have you won?
Drifting is NOT the fastest way around a corner. It has been proven, and it's physically impossible for it be faster seeing as how much friction is created.
Why do you think tires wear so excessively while drifting? Because of all the friction, slowing the car down. That’s why drifting is mostly for show, and is judged by style, technique, etc. As the saying goes, "You can't f**k with physics."
EDIT: Also, just as was mentioned above. Why don't people drift in qualifying? I mean, they only have to do a few laps on fresh tires, so why not?
