This time we will be in connection with racing in San Marino go back a little further back, thirteen years ago from the tragic racing weekend of 1994when they were fatally injured Roland ratzenberger and legendary Ayrton Senna.

VN SanMarina v Imoli leta 1981 made history with right a special story. Here in the first place it was not at all about 25th victory of Formula 1 team Brabhamwhich he won Nelson Piquet, but it is for the racing Sunday on which they are for the first time in Formulas 1 four racers competed. Slim Borgoodd (real name is Karl Edward “Tommy”), Miguel Angel War, Eliseo salazar in Michelle Alboreto, competed in San Marino for the first time in a Formula 1 race.

In 1981, Slim Borgudd brought a truly world-famous name to Formula 1, the Swedish group ABBA.

Eden of these four is c royal class of motorsport brought right special charm. A case of man, who in this quartet stands out already with his name. Slim Borgoodd it was very special an exotic newcomer on the starting line of Formula 1. Because at The Swede it was none other than ABBA studio drummer!! Yes, these world-famous Swedish bands ABBA.

The Swedish celebrities helped their studio drummer enter Formula One.
