I'm counting this as being that right hand hairpin at the top of the hill, just after T1 timing beam.

Why do I always spin around here? Just did a GP there, doing okay in the Super Agurri and it just goes and lose my front wheels and wing. Why? Is it bottoming out?
 
Not sure mate,it happens to me in bahrain also and the spanish track on a left hander,all of a sudden for no reason the car just spins. Highly frustrating!
 
Too early on the throttle? It's quite bumpy around there, you have to be very patient and very smooth.

If you've locked up, then you're stuffed.

Make sure you missed the large bump on the straight beforehand.
 
I don't understand what corner you're talking about. Do you mean Casino or Mirabeau Haute? I've never had a problem at either of those corners, but I have spun out at Mirabeau Bas.
 
know exactly what your talking about, to keen on the throttle on the way out and its very hard not to slide straight into the wall. It's strange though it only started happening to me when i started tuning the car. Eventually figured out that when i decreased the camber from my usual maxed out to the left -3.0 the problem stopped (i have no idea why). This slowed down a lot of the other corners for me though so i just try and get the line perfect every time and ease the throttle on the way out, works best for me.

Mirabeau Haute. It's always been a problem for me.
 
try adjusting one or combo several of:

maxing front wing
soften front suspension (and higher ride-height comes with softer suspension)
lessen front dampening
lessen front anti-roll

Maximizing tire grip will mean thinking about camber and pressure as well but it depends on other settings and it can mean either increasing or decreasing. Try reducing toe-in instead of running extreme camber settings I say. I'm sure the problem will be solved by some combination of above since the turn at the top of the hill (I think of it as turn 3) is not really such a drivers turn compared to turn 4.
 
I don't notice anything at Monaco....but turn 1 at Interlagos wants to throw me into the left hand railings. Bumpy as heck over there. I think that turn 4 at Istanbul is another bumpy corner that wants to throw me around. This time to the right.
 
What an insightful post ultrabeat. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Lol. I rarely have problems at Monaco unless my tyres are really worn or I have too much toe or camber. Sometimes when doing Race Evolution it's possible that you change the setup and this causes the back to slide out too much on the throttle. So my suggestion is just to check the setup, or just take it less aggressive through there.

When you get the perfect setup, you'll know :D, I managed to 2 stop strategy on my career mode in a Toyota no Hard mode with only 24 laps in the race, that gave me 8 laps to make a good lead! I had to do it though, to avoid tyre degradation, but it paid off big time! :D, good luck with your Mirabeau problem :)

Or maybe you accidentally changed your traction control settings, it's happened to me before.
