Earl Bamber

Earl Bamber grew up on a farm in Whanganui, New Zealand, and took the long way in. When the money for a European single-seater career ran out, he moved to Asia and coached other drivers. In 2013 he won the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia. In 2014 he won it again, and took the Porsche Supercup title in his rookie season.

Porsche put him in the 919 Hybrid. He won the 24 Hours of Le Mans at his first attempt in 2015, with Nico Hülkenberg and Nick Tandy. In 2017 he won it again, with Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley, and the three took the FIA World Endurance Championship drivers' title that same year. The 2019 IMSA GTLM championship followed, shared with Laurens Vanthoor. Along the way he founded his own team, Earl Bamber Motorsport.

In 2026 he races Cadillac prototypes on both sides of the Atlantic: the number 38 Hypercar with Team JOTA in the World Endurance Championship, and the number 31 in IMSA, which he and his co-drivers took to victory at the Six Hours of The Glen in June.

The collection carries the record.
