Italian Alex Zanardi will not be racing in the German touring car series DTM in 2013.
The former Formula 1 and IndyCar driver recently tested a BMW M3 DTM fitted with hand controls, sparking speculation the popular 46-year-old Italian and Paralympian could return to full-time motor racing.
"We did have a conversation about taking it seriously further on," Zanardi told the Telegraph, "but I decided it would be a little bit too much for me to be involved full-time for the whole season next year.
"It would mean I wouldn't have time for things I'd enjoy - like cycling and fishing with my son , so I decided to wait for the next train," the two-time IndyCar champion added.
