Interwetten have announced that they are withdrawing their sponsorship of Franz Wittmann.
Interwetten, a telephone sport betting provider, contacted the young Austrian to say that there is no money left to sponsor him.
“We had a meeting with Interwetten to sort things out. Unfortunately I was told that they plan to set different marketing activities next year for business policy reasons. This cancellation creates a budget hole that proves too large to be filled without a main sponsor.” he said.
This means that Wittmann will not compete on the season-opener Rallye Monte Carlo. He was due to compete on the event in a Peugeot 207 S2000, and was to be supported by Interwetten. However, this is not to be.
However, Wittmann, 27, has said that he will find a new sponsor, so that he can at least compete in some rounds of the IRC later in the season.
“From this moment on I will naturally try to find partners who could help me to successfully continue my rally career in some form,” he added.
Wittmann failed to secure a single point in this year’s IRC series. He was driving a Peugeot 207 S2000.
