McNish who is 44 next week, made the decision to stop at the end of the season after the Spa WEC round in May, so this decision was not instance decision.
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. Allan McNish will retain his relationship with both Audi Sport and Audi AG.
He has called time on his career that includes three victories in the 24 Hours Le Mans wins with Porsche and Audi, three American Le Mans Series titles and multiple wins in the 12 Hours of Sebring, as well as a short spell in Formula 1 with Toyota in 2002.
In my opinion, this was a shock decision to hear today, I thought he would do a few more seasons at most. But, a decision that was long thought from Allan McNish. Good luck in retirement for Allan McNish, will be highly missed.
End of post for now, new post soon. Bye.
