20.03.08: Snetterton Review
The pressure is on....
After winning the championship in 2007 Absolute Racing will have to up the stakes in 2008 to stay on top come the end of the season, as we are now the team to beat. So over the winter in between seasons all 3 Absolute Racing cars were taken back to the chassis and rebuilt nice and fresh for the start of the season. Unfortunately the 3rd car was not quite finished in time and that meant that team boss Chris Hodgen missed out for this race after he was taken over the seat vacated by Steve Patania the week before the season started.
