South African racer Kelvin van der Linde has signed with AKKODIS ASP Team for the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship LMGT3 campaign with Lexus. Van der Linde will serve as a pro driver in one of the team’s RC F GT3s in the new LMGT3 class. The opportunity came as a surprise to him, as he received a phone call to ask if he was available for a two-day test in Barcelona. Within two days of the call, he was signed for the 2024 campaign. Van der Linde will also be competing in the DTM with ABT and serving as a reserve driver in Formula E. This deal adds to his 2024 commitments and will mark his first time competing in the FIA WEC and at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
