Van der Linde has been a regular in a wide variety of endurance races in both Europe and America, including the Nurburgring 24 Hours, Spa 24 Hours and the Daytona 24 Hours, and also won the Petit Le Mans in his class in 2017.
However, the 23-year-old has never had a chance to race on the legendary Mount Panorama track, which plays host to the Bathurst 1000 Supercars classic as well as the Bathurst 12 Hour enduro for GT cars.
