Supercars legend Craig Lowndes is set to retire as a full-time driver at the end of next year.
According to News Corp Australia, the 43-year-old will contest only endurance races from 2020.
Lowndes next weekend will become the first driver to reach 650 race starts during the Winton SuperSprint in Victoria and he believes 700 is ultimately possible.

"And I didn't ever think I would achieve a number like that.
