Nope, the only situation it really would is if you're driving a 4WD/AWD car on dirt. Even then it might be about the same speed depending on how accurate Horizon's dirt physics are. But on pavement it's no faster but actually slower due to what I said above. Learn how to properly take a turn and you'll be faster than anyone who drifts on all of them. Unless you're playing Ridge Racer. :P
