COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Tom Kristensen, the most successful driver in the Le Mans 24-hour race, has decided to quit the sport and give up his quest for a record-extending 10th victory.

Kristensen said earlier this year he was still motivated by the prospect of winning a 10th Le Mans title but he has now decided to hang up his driving gloves.
