Double world champion Carlos Sainz has announced he will retire from rallying at the end of this year. The 42-year-old has won a record-breaking 26 rallies for teams including Toyota, Ford, Subaru and Citroen, in addition to his titles in 1990 and 1992.

Sainz has been weighing up whether to retire from the sport or compete in a limited selection of European rallies in 2005 throughout the course of this year, but finally announced today that he will leave rallying to spend more time with his family. His decision could put the seal on the various moves of the driver market for next year, with Ford drivers Markko Martin and Francois Duval hotly tipped to fill the second seats at Peugeot and Citroen respectively.
