The race is situated in the Green Point area of Cape Town, overlooked by the Table Mountain and Signal Hill natural landmarks, with the circuit also featuring a high-speed section along the beachfront.
This will be South Africa's first world championship single-seater event since the 1993 Formula 1 race at Kyalami, with home hero van der Linde continuing to deputise for the injured Robin Frijns at Abt.
