Suddenly starts spinning?

Probably a silly suggestion, but either you describe your set-up or I have to ask..... "Wrong tyres?"......has it started raining (a bit)?....too little to cause an auto tyre change but enough to spin the X2010?
 
Default setup as I've always given him for this car. No rain either. Spun out on Indy whilst as cold as he can get with warm tyres and a laps lead. Also spun on Tokyo R246 in similar circumstances. And then again at Le Mans. All in the same championship, whereas the previous 100 odd times I've run this he's hardly ever been off. (Even when running round Nordschliefe on Slicks in a flood, he just limped round to pits very slowly).
 
Maybe your car needs the chassis repair?

I feared that. Its only done a couple of k though. Do X1s go that quickly.. It did feel a bit odd when I've been driving it recently. 500k when your saving up for race cars is quite a hit..

EDIT Think I've worked out what was wrong... For some reason my downforce setting had reduced massively. Very weird. Everything else was normal. Restored it to default now. Hopefully will be ok!

Glad it seems you found your solution. The other thing I was going to suggest is the condition of the tires. Used ones are like driving on ice.
 
Bob just spins sometimes at Indy due to the fact that X 2010 is going 40-100 mph faster than the competition at times. I've seen my Bob leave huge gaps and slow down drastictly to follow the lapped traffic, and other times he's made daring passes just wizzing by. Spinning at indy seems a bit random to me, but tons of downforce cant hurt.
