Red Bull was planning to field a wildcard entry for Colton Herta in this weekend's Austria DTM round, but scrapped those plans at a short notice. Full story:
It is understood that Red Bull went as far as applying for a wildcard outing and the same was also approved by the DTM. The plan was to communicate Herta’s guest outing to the public only a few days before the race to cause a surprise, but Red Bull later decided not to go through with it and withdrew the entry.
The energy drinks giant had been hoping that the FIA would offer a special dispensation for a superlicence to Herta, who has only 32 of the 40 points required to be eligible for a grand prix seat. What is known is that the planned DTM outing would not have been to help Herta land a superlicence, as guest entries are not eligible for championship points. Instead, it was to offer Red Bull a great marketing opportunity for its home DTM event for which it always has something special lined up.
