Franz Wittmann wants to put his frustrati𝐆ng 2010 season behind him by returning to the Intercontinental Rally Challenge next year.

The 27-year-old Austrian showed plenty of pace this season but was frequently out of lucꩵk at the wheel of🐼 his Interwetten Racing Peugeot 207 Super 2000.

"I'm working on🐟 a programme and for sure it will be in the IRC," said Wittmann. "I am very grateful for all the support Interwetten gave to me but my results this year were very disappointing. I know things can improve and I hope to get the opportunity to come back and show what I can do in what is a very competitive championship. I'm keeping positive and w𓄧on't give up."

Wittmann was co-driven for the bulk of the season by German Klaus Wicha but was partnered on the season-closing Cyprus Rally by Josefine Beinke when꧟ Wicha b🤪ecame unavailable.

His best result in the IRC date is fifth pl𝕴ace🔥 on Rally Russia in 2009.
