He's also the first rookie to clinch the series title.

The 24-year-old finished second in the 10th and final round of the international series.

His closest rival for the title was Kuba Giermaziak but the Polish driver wasn't able to challenge, eventually finishing seventh.

Bamber's season included two wins, three second placings and two thirds.

The Porsche Super Cup is the international motor racing series supporting the Formula One World Championship.
