Newly-crowned World Endurance champion Allan McNish is retiring from front-line racing with immediate effect.
The long-time Audi driver, who claimed the WEC title at Shanghai with Tom Kristensen and Loic Duval in November, explained that the timing was right for a decision that means he will not be part of the German manufacturer's 2014 WEC campaign.
"You have to get out at some point and everything lined up to make this an extremely good time to do it," McNish told AUTOSPORT. "Everything has fallen into place."I have won pretty much everything I wanted to and I ticked the last box with the world championship."It is good to do it now with the change over to the new car and new rules, which would have required a big commitment."
