Shake up in the sub-groups of Formula Blue S & B Challenge – Round 5 at Buckmore Park
16.05.16Round 5 – S & B Automotive Academy Formula Blue Challenge at Buckmore Park on May 15th.
Ian Branfield returned to his best to claim the win in Formula Blue. Anthony Cleal finished 2nd with a 3rd grid start and 2nd over the line. It is Cleal, however, who maintains his lead in the Challenge with Branfield now taking up the contest in 2nd place.
Cleal’s win in the Blue Master section helped him to extend his lead over Kevin Ford, who moves up into 2nd 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 4th 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 3rd July
