Except for the years of 2001 to 2003, he was competing for the four rings since 2000.
In the 2000 season Allan McNish, in the Audi R8, won the American Le Mans Series for the first time. In 2006 and 2007, in the Audi R10 TDI, he again celebrated title wins in the North American sports car series. Four overall victories in the Sebring 12 Hours complement his track record in North America.
Two of his three successes in the Le Mans 24 Hours was celebrated with Audi in 2008 and 2013. The early title win in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) at Shanghai five weeks ago marked the pinnacle of the Scotsman's career, who had initially pursed a classic career in formula racing.
He has recorded 29 overall victories, 18 pole positions, 17 fastest race laps and four title wins in eleven years, which makes him one of the most successful Audi sports car drivers.
He almost exclusively drove the company's sports cars and in 2005 he was additionally active in DTM. He is the only driver to have raced all sports cars ever made in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm, from the Audi R8R to the R8, R10 TDI, R15 TDI, R18 TDI models and the R18 ultra through to the R18 e-tron quattro.
"I found the ideal moment for myself to bring an end to my LMP sports-prototype racing with Audi. Together with my team mates Tom Kristensen and Loic Duval I finished my most successful season in the sports car. Having also won the Le Mans 24 Hours, I can't wish for more than what we've achieved this year. I can look back on a fantastic career that has left no aims unfinished and I'm looking forward to new challenges the future holds for me," said McNish.
The Scotsman achieved many of his greatest victories since the 2000 season with Audi - most recently, the first World Championship title in his career at the wheel of the Audi R18 e-tron quattro.
