Wheeler closes down on Cleal in 2 Counties Club Champs
10.10.16At the 4th round of the 2 Counties Club Champs (sponsored by Branfield & Sons Builders) at the Clay Pigeon circuit, on October 9th, the lead in the Cadet Honda class continues in a deadlock. Thomas Cucurello-Yeomans and Cameron Ross shared the days’ points and carry the Championship forward in total deadlock with only 2 Rounds left.
Jake Calvert continued his dominance in Junior Blue, with a lights to flag result.
In Formula Blue, Martin Wheeler and Anthony Cleal raced the Final centimetres apart. Wheeler, won the race though Cleal achieved the fastest lap. In the process, Wheeler, closed the gap on Cleal at the front of the Club Championship to where only the drop option separates them. Notable absentees were Ian Branfield and Matthew Helps who gifted 3rd spot to Sam Dible in the process.
In the Blue Master section, Cleal takes the overall lead from Duncan McLeod.
It is, however, McLeod who holds the lead in the Blue Veteran group ahead of Kevin Ford.
In the Blue Legend sub-class, David Goode continues to hold the lead over Ron Shone.
Branfield’s absence from the Blue Top Weight group has allowed McLeod to take up second spot to chase Cleal, in the lead.
The Championship continues and moves on to the Mansell circuit on October 30th for the penultimate round of the year.

2 COUNTIES – RESULTS of Round 3 at Mansell Raceway 25th September
26.09.16In 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.
