He has been competing in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters since 2019, winning his maiden title in 2022.
Van der Linde began his motorsport career at the age of six, racing karts in his native South Africa.
In January 2019, it was announced that van der Linde would be driving for BMW Team RBM in the 2019 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season; thereby making him the first South African driver to compete in the series.
van der Linde remained with RBM for the 2020 season, this time alongside Philipp Eng.
His season started out strongly, scoring his first DTM podium at the second round of the campaign at the Lausitzring.
The South African followed that up by winning race 2 at Assen, a race in which he scored the fastest lap as well.
A consistent season helped van der Linde to sixth in the championship, finishing as the second-highest BMW driver, narrowly missing out to Timo Glock.
For 2021, the first DTM season to be run under Group GT3 regulations, van der Linde switched over to partner Glock at ROWE Racing as the team fielded a pair of BMW M6 GT3 cars in what proved to be their only season in the series.
In the first seven races, he recorded five finishes in the top 10.
After a fourth-place finish in the second race of the first round at Monza, he started from pole position and led 21 laps in the first race of the second round at the Lausitzring, but eventually received a five-second time penalty for a pit-stop infringement and finished in ninth place.
After experiencing his first retirement of the season in the second race of the fourth round at the Nürburgring, he also retired from both races of the next round at the Red Bull Ring.
He finished sixth in the first race of the sixth round at Assen, before experiencing four consecutive retirements.
His campaign ended with an eleventh-place finish in the drivers' standings, with the fourth-place finish at Monza remaining his best race result.
