After the 1980 season, he decided to quit motorcycling to pursue an auto racing career. He retired with twelve 500cc pole positions in 27 starts, giving him one of the highest pole position per start ratios in motorcycle Grand Prix history.
While qualifying for the British Grand Prix, he crashed heavily, breaking both of his legs which effectively ended his Formula One career. He returned to competition in Touring Cars.
Cecotto currently devotes most of his time to supporting the racing career of his son, Johnny Cecotto Jr.
At the end of the 2009 season Johnny Jr started to race in GP2 and in 2010
