Round 5  –  S & B Automotive Academy Formula  Blue Challenge at Buckmore Park on May 15^th.
Ian Branfield returned to his best to claim the win in Formula Blue.  Anthony Cleal finished 2^nd with a 3^rd grid start and 2^nd over the line.  It is Cleal, however, who maintains his lead in the Challenge with Branfield  now taking up the contest in 2^nd place.

Cleal’s win in the Blue Master section helped him to extend his lead over Kevin Ford, who moves up into 2^nd spot.

In  the Veteran group,  Ford takes the lead with his  ‘on the day’ win, leapfrogging Duncan McLeod.

David Goode continues his fine form with a win in the Legend section and , in so doing, takes over the top spot from Robin Stoddart-stones.

Branfield’s  Stirling performance on the day,  also gave him the win in the Top Weight section, promoting him from 4^th place up to the lead position. His lead is, however, tenuous in that behind him by 1 point sits Cleal, with Duncan McLeod also only 1 point behind that.

Round 6, brings the Challenge back to Forest Edge on 3^rd July

Anthony Cleal, after a disastrous round 3 , at LLandow, turned it around with a pole to flag win at Forest Edge.   With Sam Dible away ( academic examinations)  and three of the top eight having difficulties in the final, Cleal extended his lead.  Duncan McLeod threw a chain, Stuart Gray had a puncture and Ian Branfield was subjected to contact from a driver in another class !   Conversely,  Matty Help who had a cooling pump failure, upon recognising an engine temperature rise hand choked his engine home to 2nd place.
Luke Lattimer,  last year’s Junior Blue champion, showed his worth with a 3rd place result.
In the Junior Blue, Taylor Waldron continues to extend his lead.

Taylor Waldron, by viture of his attendance maintained his lead in Junior Blue.
Ian Branfield, and Stuart Gray shared the win in formula Blue with 2 points each.  Anthony Cleal  had a disastrous race day but, but virtue of his points lead coming in to this meeting,  maintains his overall lead.  Duncan McLeod,  who finished 3rd on the day stays in 2nd overall.   Stuart Gray and Ian Branfield were the main movers and move up the order to 3rd and 4ths in the Series.

Anthony Cleal maintains his lead in the Masters  section,  but it is Stuart Gray who now challenges him in 2nd spot.

Stuart Gray, however, leads both the Veteran and the Legend groups with Duncan McLeod the 2nd Veteran and David Goode the 2nd Legend.

In the Top Weight category  Duncan McLeod has wrestled the lead away from Matty Helps,  who had a fine Final though a ‘nightmare’  in the heats.   2nd top Weight  ( over 85kgs) is now last year’s winner Ian Branfield.

Jake Calvert  retained the Junior Blue trophy albeit  against a weakened grid.
In Formula Blue, the existing title holders Ian Branfield, ( Open and Top Weight)  and Stuart Gray( Master,  Veteran and Legend) produced the race of the day.  These two broke away from the chasing group with only Paul Giles (first outing since moving from Easykart) staying in contact. On the penultimate lap,  Branfield and Gray came down the straight side-by-side, but,  it was Branfield who emerged in front and held off the absolute intentions of Gray over the final lap,  to take the flag by 0.2 of a second !  Gray, however, did not come away empty handed as he won the Master, Veteran and Legend sections.
