Life as a Lloyds broker left Eric Thompson with less time to race than he would have liked, but he still managed to make his mark as a member of the Aston Martin sports car team between 1949 and 1953. He enjoyed some excellent results with David Brown's equipe, finishing third at Le Mans in 1951 with Macklin and second at Dundrod in the 1953 Tourist Trophy, and winning the BARC 9 Hours at Goodwood with Reg Parnell.

His single-seater outings were largely confined to minor Formula Libre events in Rob Walker's Connaught but, given a works machine for the 1952 British GP, Eric did extremely well to bring the car home in fifth place and secure two championship points in his only Grand Prix appearance.
