Maybe a combination of setup (camber angle exposing the sidewall more than other cars?) and cutting the corner contributed to the problem. The other corner where people take liberties with the kerbing (again the front left would take the punishment) would be Stirlings - but usually they stick a big tyre bale there to stop that sort of thing - having not seen the coverage I don't know whether that was the case this time.

The Motorbase punctures were front left. Jelley (and others) suggest that the Motorbase cars were too aggressive on front set up, and took too much kerb through paddock.
