With most of his focus on the European series, van Dam finished on the podium four times on his way to fourth in the championship.

[1] Van Dam was fourteenth overall in the French series, competing in just six of the races due to his Eurocup campaign.

He was a runaway winner of the championship, clinching the title with a round to spare at the Sachsenring, amassing sixteen podiums from the eighteen races.

Van Dam also tested a GP2 Series car at the end of the season, as a result of winning the title.

After failing to find a suitable drive in Europe, van Dam followed the lead of James Courtney, Adrian Sutil and Oliver Jarvis and moved to Japan to compete in the All-Japan Formula Three series, with the TOM'S team.

At Suzuka, he ended up third overall, teaming up with TOM'S regular Super GT drivers Juichi Wakisaka and André Lotterer.

[12] A disappointing qualification race saw van Dam retire on the first lap, having suffered a puncture at Mandarin Bend and then collided with fellow Dutchman Renger van der Zande at San Francisco.
