Campaign podracer and speeder bike feels like a horrible combination?

[MinuVe]

So I want to preface this by saying neither of those 2 things are objectively bad on their own nor do I dislike the mixed style in the campaign, but I feel like these 2 things don't go well together in the way you use your stats, and would like to hear what other people think about it.

So my main issue in the campaign in act 3, while I did manage to beat it on ace, was that to me it feels like the podracer REALLY suffers from using drift to get around corners as you lose a ton of speed, while the speederbike, at least how I played it, does not seem to care about the cornering stat at all because you can just use the drift (kinetic burst) for corners and dump your stats into that instead of regular cornering. So the moment you get into the podracer it feels like those 2 things kinda clash, as all the other vehicles in my eyes seem to have a more similar control philosophy to the podracer (try to corner, and if you come across a sharp corner you might want to consider a drift)

So now my question is: is that just me being a drift addict or do other speeder bike players feel the same and/or play the same? Would like to hear about some similar or differing opinions (If you're playing other vehicles also feel free to let me know if you agree or disagree with my assumption. Would be curious to hear from people how they feel about it.)
