In Cadet Honda,  Ameron Ross finished 3rd overall but in the process snatched the overall title from Ethan Leader. 
Ian Branfield, in Formula Blue,  went into the final round with a 12 point lead and very nearly threw it away by virtue of a wrong tyre choice in one of the heats !  He kept it together in the final race finishing  4th and winning overall by 2 points. 
It was Duncan McLeod who won the day with a  masterly display of racing taking both pole position and win in the Final.  Second on the day was local boy Ryan Edgecumbe who, as a consequence,  jumped from 8th to 3rd in the Championship.  Having transferred from Max 177,  Edgcumbe gradually adjusted to the more challenging grid in Formula Blue and has improved race by race!

The final round of the S & B Automotive Academy Formula Blue Challenge took place at Mansell Raceway under the most challenging of weather conditions.  With little more than a few minutes notice rain either fell in torrents or held off.  this continued all through the race day, catching quite a few out on the wrong tyres. 
The Final became a dominant display by pole man Duncan McLeod with Ryan Edgecumbe in close attendance.   Mitchell McLeod, continuing his recent impressive form took 3rd place.  It was, however,  Ian Branfield who did enough in 4th overall to claim the Series title.  Duncan McLeod also dominated in the Master and Veteran groups with  Kevin Ford and Ron Shone filling the rest of the Series podium.  
Despite an incident during the heats,  Shone kept it together to take the Legend section from Graham  Dudley and Kevin O’Neill.
The remaining sub-class title, the Top Weights, was held by  Ian Branfield with the father and son duo McLeod snapping at his heals.

Young racers blitz the established racers at Round 2 of the 2 Counties Club Championships in the Formula Blue Class.   The Younger element of the 2 Counties Formula Blue class turned the tables on the established and more experienced racers at Round 2 of the 2 Counties Club Championships.  On a very hot day at Clay Pigeon Raceway in July,  Jake Calvert,  Toby Cook, Mitch McLeod and Luke Lattimer raced the Final,  locked together in a display of racing skills well worth of their older racing competitors whom they soundly beat on the day.  Although Mitch McLeod won the Final race,  it was Jake Calvert who took the day with a pole and 2nd.  The results opened up the Club Champs with Ian Branfield still in the overall lead but with Calvert & Mitch McLeod separating him from arch rival Duncan McLoed. 
David Goode won the Master group but shared the win in the Veteran and Legend sections with Ron Shone. 
The outstanding day’s performance from Mitch McLeod promoted him into the lead of the Top Weight category ahead of Branfield, the previous club leader. 
In the Cadet Honda class,  Joshua Whittington -Crouch and Thomas Cucurallo-Yeomans shared the points on the day promoting them to 2nd and 3rd respectively in the Club Championship, just behind Ethan Leader.
Competitors now have a 2-month break in the 2 Counties Champs before Round 3, again at Clay Pigeon on September 10th.
