Default sudden loss of rear traction

Did anyone else experience this last night?

My buggy was fine up until round 3. I made a mistake on the right angled tabletop and immediately after I couldn't keep it in a straight line. The car itself is fine but there was an oily residue on the rear tyres, not from my shocks.

I changed the tyres and all was fine for a few laps until i repeated the same error.

I didn't, but I know Cameron did, and pretty sure Gareth had an issue too. Maybe someone lost shock oil or something?

ERRRRRRR, that would be my shock oil, the right rear blew out on me twice.

Sorry to the guys it affected.

Maybe it wasn't your ball diff but some oil progressively spreading across the track
