Torsten Palm

After a little rallying in a Volvo, Torsten entered Scandinavian F3 with a Brabham in 1969, before teaming up with Picko Troberg for a programme that was successful at home but less so when they ventured abroad.

In 1973 Palm hired the second works Surtees for three Formula 2 races, taking a third place at Karlskoga, and he then had a handful of outings the following year, this time in a GRD, finishing sixth at the Salzburgring. Palm briefly surfaced in Grands Prix in 1975, hiring a Hesketh to contest two races before retiring to guide the career of the then promising Eje Elgh.
