Whenever someone points out that going sideways in not the fastest way, I think of an article in the Aug-Sept 1994 "Sportscar" magazine about the Ruf BTR 3.8. The driver was "Sideways" Stephan of Ruf video fame.

After four runs the photographer is sure she has all the evidence and we decide to do likewise at Aremberg. Before we mount up again Trevor casually dropped in some advice: "I've told you before Chris, when you're sideways you're loosing time". I look to Stephan who was perhaps a Scandinavian rallyist in a former life and he smiles ruefully, as if to say 'yes, but when you are making love you're not always trying to make babies.
