Or simply the odd few weaker tyres - Friday afternoon jobs! - luck of the draw with Motorbase having just walked under a ladder!
Was the HARD car Ollie Brown in R2? Looking at the results, that seems to be the only time they weren't on the lead lap, aside from Goff's incident.

Hill's was a result of an incident, rather than a failure.

Which suggests that Motorbase were the team pushing the envelope too far?

Four tyre failures on the same corner of the Focus would seem to indicate that the setup was a contributing factor?
