Earl Bamber continues to prove he's the man to beat in a Porsche. Over the weekend in Shanghai, the 24-year-old Kiwi claimed his second international title by winning the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia championship.
Any chance the rest of the field had of stopping him disappeared when Bamber snatched pole and raced away when the lights went out to take his seventh win of the season.
"Alex [Imperatori] didn't make it easy for me in the race, but all season we knew it would be difficult as we'd missed a race in Zhuhai," said Bamber.
"It's a fantastic result for the team, and the competition has been great all season. Some of the best racing the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia has seen."

James Munro sealed his 2014 Formula Masters China Series championship in Shanghai too. The 17-year-old Kiwi notched an emphatic victory in his first race of the weekend allowing him to ease to a fifth place in the second race and secure the title.
"It feels really great to be champion and it's something we've worked hard for all year," said Munro.
"We had a strong season with some ups and downs and came out on top. I can't thank the team enough for their hard work.
"I went into Race 17 [second race of weekend] aiming to win it, but the start didn't go well and Jake [Parsons] got past me.
"Then I seemed to have a problem turning right and had an off and dropped down to fifth. I knew it was enough to win the title so I didn't try to get back onto the podium."
Munro is now concentrating on next year's Toyota Racing Series.
