It is with pride that the group has chosen to develop its action sponsoring young talent from the Béziers region.

The latest beneficiary of this support is Jim PLA, a racing driver hired for the PORSCHE CUP MATMUT CARRERE 2013 season. At only 20 years of age he will be driving the 911 of NOURRY COMPETITION.

At IC Sport, managed by Christian Bouas, Jim takes over from Patrick PILET and Kevin ESTRE who stood out for their talent in this field, whereby the first has become the official driver of the Porsche brand and the second an International Endurance and Super Cup driver.

The latter (Kevin ESTRE) has agreed to sponsor Jim for his debut in this competition which he also won in 2011.
The group wishes Jim PLA all the best for this new adventure.
