Terribly sad news that our first ever World Rally Champion Björn Waldegård passed away this morning. Great, great man.

Sad. He was a pretty friendly guy in person.. Way back in the mid 70s he let us local cross-idiots set up a very fun, very challenging track on a corner of his farm in Rö in a sand pit....Very “sympa“ as the Frenchies say...
At the time I knew he "drove cars in the woods and did "VM".." but you'd never know it...
