Franz Wittmann wants to put his frustrating 2010 season behind him by returnin🦩g to the꧒ Intercontinental Rally Challenge next year.

The 27-y🐽ear-old Austrian sho꧃wed plenty of pace this season but was frequently out of luck 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 fo𝔍r all the support Interwetten gave to me but my r𝓡esults 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 won'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 Be🙈inke when Wicha became unavailable.

His best result in the IRC date is fifth place on Ralꩲly Russi🐟a in 2009.
