In what was one of the largest entry lists for Formula Blue this year,  some spectacular racing took place at Mansell Raceway.  The front three in senior BLUE class achieved best lap times within 0.02 of each other.  In the end, it was Martin Wheeler who stole the day, from Duncan McLeod and Anth Cleal.  This result kept Cleal in the lead of the ‘open’ Championship by the narrowest of margins from Ian Branfield, who must be bitterly regretting missing this round as two of the front five had problems throughout the day.
In the BLUE Master group,  it is McLeod who takes the lead in the Club Championships from Cleal.  Both are on the same points with McLeods’s drop option marginally better. McLeod also takes the lead in the BLUE Veteran section, having wrestled the lead away from the non-attendee Kevin Ford.
David Goode increased his lead in the Blue Legends group over Ron shone.  It was Robin Stoddart-Stones who stole the show in the racing but illness earlier in the year had placed him adrift in the Club Championships.
Cleal, by virtue of Branfields’s non-attendance, moved into the lead of the Top Weight section, albeit by the difference in the drop option points.
In the Junior BLUE class, Jake Calvert reasserted himself as the man to beat by taking the day and also increasing his club lead over Taylor Waldron.
The Cadet Honda front runners shared the day with Thomas Cucurello-Yeomans and Cameron Ross scoring 2 points each to leave them equal first in the Club Champs.
The next round will take place on 9th October at  the Clay Pigeon Raceway.
