IDEC Sport Racing, more commonly referred to as IDEC Sport, is a French sports car racing outfit. Born from the ashes of Ruffier Racing in 2015, the team began racing GT3 cars in the 24H Series before moving on to sports prototypes.^[1]^[2] Spearheaded by LMP2 ace Paul-Loup Chatin for much of its history, IDEC won the 2019 European Le Mans Series title and has twice set class pole position at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in 2018 and 2023.^[3]^[4]^[5] Although IDEC's corporate colour is red, it has borne the colours of classic French brands Delage and Matra, and most recently collaborated with Genesis Magma Racing's LMDh programme.^[6]^[7] It is currently active in both the ELMS in LMP2 and the Michelin Le Mans Cup in LMP3.
