A race team mixing experience and youthfulness
Since 2015, IDEC SPORT has managed to grow, expand, and evolve into a solid structure. In ten years of existence, IDEC SPORT has made a name for itself in the world of international competition thanks to well-thought-out choices in drivers and management. In 2019, the team won the European Endurance Championship. At the end of 2023, IDEC SPORT moved into its new premises in Signes (Var), on the edge of the Paul Ricard circuit. In 2024, the team secured third place on the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in its eighth participation in the legendary endurance race.
EXECUTIVES
PATRICE LAFARGUE
PRESIDENT OF IDEC SPORT
President of the IDEC Group during the week, Patrice Lafargue likes to spend his weekends behind the steering wheel of his racing cars. As he likes to tell his team, the main thing is to enjoy it. Even if his team is today semi-professional, the competitive side must not come before the enjoyment of racing.
NICOLAS MINASSIAN
MAIN TEAM
Having arrived at IDEC SPORT in 2018, the former Peugeot professional driver in WEC is taking on even more scope in 2021 by becoming Team Principal. His experience in motorsport is extensive, whether in driving, technical or management, which makes him an ultra versatile sports director. The man with 9 victories at the wheel of the 908 and 17 participations in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, brings a lot to IDEC SPORT but there is still a lot of work to be done to settle the details that will lead to victory. Nicolas Minassian will start his 6th season with IDEC SPORT in 2023.
