Well, drift competitions are to show off how well you can drift, not to necessarily win a race. As for drifting slowing you down on pavement, yes and no. If you can navigate a turn, while drifting, and keep your speed at - say - 80MPH, it's better than having to slow down, navigate the turn, and speed back up.

As for rally races being the best place to drift, you have my complete and total agreement. I love to watch rally races, because you see some insane stunts while going around turns in the dirt, mud, or wet pavement.
