Winterbottom to leave Larkham/Orrcon.
Larkham Motor Sport has announced that it will release Mark Winterbottom from his V8 Supercar contract at the end of this season.
The split is apparently an amicable one, designed to improve the fortunes of both team and driver. Winterbottom joined Larkham at the start of the 2004 campaign having won the former Konica V8 title under the tutelage of Stone Brothers Racing and established himself as one of the leading lights in the category. Paired with veteran Jason Bargwanna at LMS, however, results were hard to come by.

?EUR?Constructive discussions between LMS and Mark throughout the last week have resulted in an amicable departure that was mutually agreed and in the best interest of both parties moving forward,?EUR? said team owner Mark Larkham, ?EUR?There is nothing more to add as there is simply nothing more to this outcome. We wish Mark well with his future.?EUR?
Winterbottom will contest the final two rounds of the year in his Orrcon Racing Falcon, at Symmons Plain and Phillip Island.
