Slim Borgudd
Karl Edward Borgudd (25 November 1946 – 23 February 2023), also known as Tommy Borgudd or Slim Borgudd, was a Swedish musician and Formula One driver who raced for the ATS and Tyrrell teams.
After Formula 1, Slim went on to drive trucks and touring cars in his homeland and won the European Championship in FIA Truck Racing in 1995. He had already retired from racing, after a spell of living and working in Warwickshire as managing director of Radical UK Sportscars' international distribution division and he also ran his Slim Racing team for some years. R.I.P |

I knew he had been suffering from Alzheimers, so he probably didn't have long left.
Of course he was known as the ABBA drummer, despite the fact he only did a few studio sessions with them, but did drum with quite a few bands. Did manage to get a point in F1 and then of course had a successful career in Trucks and tin tops RIP Slim |
