2003-07-16 // Murray back on podium after croft thriller
Round 10 of the Elf Clio Cup saw Eoin start 3rd on the grid behind Danny Buxton and Oli Wilkinson. A customary blistering start by the Holfeld F1 Components backed driver enabled him to snatch 2nd position by passing Danny Buxton on the inside at tower. Still on an action packed first lap a coming together with Ed Pead at the complex had Eoin sideways but he managed a fantastic recovery to maintain his 2nd position.

He then caught his team mate & Xcel driver Oli Wilkinson and pursued him for a number of laps before being caught by fellow Irish man Jonathon Fildes. The defensive battle with Fildes allowed Wilkinson to increase his lead. Fildes eventually managing to get past Eoin on the last corner on lap 8 to promote himself to 2nd.

Danny Buxton now launched an assault for the third spot on the podium but was stoutly defended by the young Irish driver. Eventually, a ‘do or die’ movement by Buxton on the first corner of the last lap resulted in him going off & dropping down the order. Eoin backed by high tech engineering firm Holfeld F1 Components driving to an excellent 3rd place and 25championship points. ‘I am delighted to have found my way back on the podium and am looking forward to improving my championship position over the rest of the season’
