Conway's last race will be at the 6 Hours of Monza
Toyota World Endurance Championship driver Mike Conway has announced his retirement from racing at the end of the 2026 season.
The 43-year-old will compete in the final two rounds of the season in Spain and Italy before calling time on his decorated career.
After a promising junior career that included a Formula Renault UK title, British Formula 3 International crown and victory at the Macau Grand Prix, Conway spent five years as an IndyCar driver before joining Toyota's endurance racing program in 2014.
The ensuing 12-year partnership resulted in two WEC titles in 2019-20 and 2021 as well as two victories at Le Mans, the most recent of which came this year alongside Nyck De Vries and Kamui Kobayashi.
Conway's endurance racing exploits extended beyond the confines of the WEC. His one and only European Le Mans Series appearance at Le Castellet in 2016 ended in victory and his stint in the IMSA SportsCar Championship culminated in four podiums, three of which came at the 12 Hours of Sebring.
