Murray finishes second at Brands Hatch

IRISH driver, Eoin Murray, in his Holfeld F1 Components sponsored Renault Clio, recorded his best ever finish in the Elf Clio Renaultsport Cup

Murray, from Firhouse, Co. Dublin actually qualified on pole but was edged out by race winner, Jason Templemartin.

However, it was another disappointing race for the Irish drivers contesting the Formula Renault UK Championship. In a race won by former karting sensation, Lewis Hamilton (Manor Motorsport) from Fortec driver, Danny Watts, Gary Turkington was the best placed Irish driver in ninth. Matthew Griffin came home in twelfth place and Philip Kershaw was 20th. James Murphy retired on lap thirteen.
