2003-09-09 // Victory for Eoin at Donnington Park
Xcel Motorsport driver Eoin Murray has added to his tally of wins in the Elf Clio Renault UK Cup with an emphatic victory in round 16 of the championship at Donnington Park this weekend.

Round 15 on Saturday was a highly competitive and robust affair which saw the Holfeld F1 backed car of Murray being punted off only to have Murray save certain disaster and re-join the race to eventually finish in a very credible seventh place.

Starting from pole position Eoin Murray backed by Holfeld F1 Components had to settle for second off the line but snatched the lead at Redgate on the opening lap and held the lead all the way to the chequered flag.

The victory on Sunday, his fourth of the season so far, was particularly sweet as a major crash during free practice at the track on Thursday meant that the team had to re-shell the car overnight to have it on the grid for the weekend. ‘‘The Xcel Motorsport team did a fantastic job and the car felt really good however I can’t help but feel that the result on Saturday could have been better had I not had that accident. I am particularly proud that I helped my team Xcel Motorsport win the 2003 Constructors title. The win on Sunday was very sweet and just what we needed to round out the weekend’’.

‘’I am currently lying third in the championship standings and my aim is to finish second. In my current form this is well within my grasp as we head for Oulton Park in two weeks time.’’
