Career

=French Formula Campus and Formula Three=

Born in Toulouse, Pla started his career in 2000 in French Formula Campus before moving on to French Formula Three Championship in 2001 with the Saulnier Racing team. He finished eighth in the series standings, taking nine points-scoring positions in eleven races, including a podium in the penultimate race of the season at Magny-Cours.{{cite news|url=http://www.speedsport-magazine.com/motorsport/formula-level3/french-formula-3/2001/results.html|title=2001 French Formula 3 Championship|work=speedsport-magazine.com|publisher=Speedsport Magazine|access-date=2010-01-26}}

In 2002, Pla stayed in the series but switched to the ASM team. He finished third, behind Renaud Derlot and Tristan Gommendy, taking nine podium places from fourteen races, including wins at Croix-en-Ternois and Bugatti Circuit.{{cite news|url=http://www.speedsport-magazine.com/motorsport/formula-level3/french-formula-3/2002/results.html|title=2002 French Formula 3 Championship|work=speedsport-magazine.com|publisher=Speedsport Magazine|access-date=2010-01-26}}

In 2003, Pla joined the Formula 3 Euro Series with ASM. He finished third, behind Christian Klien and Ryan Briscoe, taking nine podium places from twenty races.{{cite news|url=http://www.speedsport-magazine.com/motorsport/formula-level3/formula-3-euroseries/2003/results.html|title=2003 Formula 3 Euro Series|work=speedsport-magazine.com|publisher=Speedsport Magazine|access-date=2010-01-26}}

=World Series by Nissan=

2004 saw Pla leave the Euroseries, joining the World Series by Nissan. He contested two rounds with RC Motorsport before joining Carlin Motorsport to replace Michael Keohane. He finished ninth, taking thirteen points-scoring positions in eighteen races, including a win at Estoril.{{cite news|url=http://www.speedsport-magazine.com/motorsport/formula-level2/formula-renault-worldseries/2004/results.html|title=2004 Formula Nissan V6 World Series|work=speedsport-magazine.com|publisher=Speedsport Magazine|access-date=2010-01-26}}

=GP2 Series=

In 2005 he raced in the inaugural GP2 Series season for David Price Racing. In the early part of the season he stalled on the grid several times — some blamed the GP2 cars for the high number of stallings, while others noticed that the same drivers seemed to be affected regularly. In another race his team mate selected reverse instead of first gear and went backwards into Pla's car. However, he took advantage of the reverse grid system to finish eighth in Race One and thus take pole for Race Two twice (at Hockenheim and Silverstone), winning both those races to finish 11th in the championship. He remained with DPR for 2006, but was dropped mid-season after running out of sponsorship, after a difficult period which saw him score no points and injure his hand in Monaco.

In 2007, he competed in the German Porsche Carrera Cup. However, he was recalled to DPR in the latter stages of the GP2 season to replace the injured Christian Bakkerud. In 2008, he moved to sports car racing, driving a Lola Le Mans Prototype in the Le Mans Series and 24 Hours of Le Mans.

=WeatherTech SportsCar Championship=

Pla joined Mazda Motorsports for part of the 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship campaign and signed with Meyer Shank Racing for a full DPi season in 2021.{{cite web |last1=Pruett |first1=Marshall |title=Pla confirmed for 2021 Meyer Shank Acura DPi seat |url=https://racer.com/2020/10/16/pla-confirmed-for-2021-meyer-shank-acura-dpi-seat/ |website=Racer |access-date=October 17, 2020 |date=October 16, 2020}}
