Retirement in racing refers to the period when a racehorse or a racing driver stops competing professionally. For racehorses, this often occurs after their racing career ends, and they may transition to a new life as a pleasure horse, in breeding, or in rehabilitation programs. Organizations like Retired Racehorse Project help facilitate this transition, ensuring that these animals find suitable homes. For racing drivers, retirement can come after years of competition in events like Formula 1 or NASCAR. Many drivers choose to remain involved in the sport through coaching, commentary, or team management. This allows them to share their expertise while enjoying a different role within the racing community.
