It was a lovely warm weekend for the last of the 2024 NKRA controlled Championships, the INDYBLUE TnT. This, in direct contrast to round 1 at Llandow, where it rained all of Sunday.
Racing was entertaining with several battles going on, down the order. At the sharp end, Jamie Watts, from P1 and Anthony Cleal from grid 2, raced for 14 laps with absolutely nothing between them. Indeed Watts won from Cleal by a margin of 0.18 seconds. Cleal however won the Indy Blue Series and the £1,000 Travel voucher from the sponsor Torster Travel. Watts, no doubt rueing that he missed round 1 !
Paul Wheeler finished 7th which was enough to claim 2nd place in the Series, along with a £500 TORSTER TRAVEL prize.
The drive of the day ( outside of the first two) must go to David Waldron, who finished 5th on the day with a best lap time of under 0.3 seconds off the eventual winner !
The prize vouchers, as provided by TORSTER TRAVEL, will be presented at the NKRA presentation evening to which all winners must be present !

Following representation from several drivers, who are preparing Formula BLUE equipment for racing, where they advised that they were unable to enter any of the remaining BLUE races in 2024. They would not be able to race in the 2 Counties events because they do not have MSUK licences and they would also not be able to enter at Dunkeswell on Oct 27th, for the INDYBLUE event because they were not previously registered with the NKRA.

Therefore, TABOR have waived the requirement for entrants to be NKRA Registered in order for them to race at Dunkeswell on October 27th. Any such non-NKRA Registered drivers will now be allowed to participate in Formula BLUE Class at the INDYBLUE round at Dunkeswell on October 27th following an invitation. They will, however, still be competing under the NKRA rules and regulations. This invitation will be granted upon request to Ron Shone at TABOR.
Drivers entered under this waiver will be able to participate in the full weekend’s practice and racing and win a trophy in the standard ‘first past the post’ format. Only Registered racers ( with NKRA) will, however, be able to win any Torster Travel prizes as per the Indyblue Regulations.
