It will be the only recognised body to engage with F1 officials and stakeholders, to promote South Africa's bid and to develop a comprehensive document.
South Africa has not hosted a Formula 1 Grand Prix since 1993.
The Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg has received approval to begin upgrades necessary for FIA Grade One accreditation, which is required to host a Formula 1 event.
