You didn't mention the damage level you are running but I suspect that unless
you are in the no damage mode you are bending some suspension piece when
spinning. I'll get different results with what seems like a similar scrapes on
a rail or running over a curb so it is a bit of luck as it is in real life.
It's a bitch with full damage when you have to finsh a race holding the wheel
a quarter turn to the right.
