Former WRC driver Bruno Saby definitly ended his racing career. He drove for BMW's X-Raid in the Basja Spain, and in the second leg pulled on the brakes and decided it was enough.

Saby, 59, drove for Lancia and Peugeot Talbot Sport before he joined Mitsubishi in the rally raids, winning the Dakar Rally with co-driver Dominique Serieys in 1993. He drove rally raids for Mitsubishi, Protruck, Volkswagen (winning the 2005 FIA Cross Country World Cup) and last year replaced Colin McRae at BMW.

Saby entered the first of his 39 WRC rallies in 1973 and took his maiden victory in Corsica during the halcyon days of the FISA Group B category in 1986. He also won the 1988 Monte Carlo Rally, before switching to the exciting discipline of Cross-Country rallying after the 1991 Lombard RAC
