ELKHART LAKE, Wis. -- Christian Fittipaldi plans to retire from driving after the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the January race he was won three times.
The 47-year-old Brazilian racer announced the decision Saturday at Road America.
"My relationship with my family, my daughter, my age, so it's the package. It's not one thing," Fittipaldi said. "It's not that I went out there, I had a huge accident and said, `Whoa, now I'm afraid of doing this. I can't do this anymore.' It wasn't that. It was the package and I think the timing is correct. I'm going to respect the timing a lot.
