The amount of drive the car produces on high grip tracks is immense. From now on I'll check them after every race.
By the way I use serated wheel nuts aswell.

I had exactly the same earlier in same meeting lost all drive and realised one wheel hex had been completely rounded out. This is why I'm thinking it could be too much drive ie slipper too tight ?
