Tom Trana

[2] He came to the attention of the Volvo works team and its leader, Gunnar Andersson, himself twice European Rally Championship, as early as 1962.

These achievements earned him a definitive place in the top league of motor sport and the nickname the "Horseman of the Apocalypse".

In addition, Volvo withdrew its works team for more than ten years, following a further fatal accident on the 1966 Akropolis Rally, in which two mechanics died.

Tom Trana changed to Saab for 1967, which resulted in relative success, including a win in the 1967 Norwegian Rally.

Driven by Per-Inge Walfridsson, the legitimate successor to Tom Trana as a representative of the Swedish car maker, Volvo succeeded in 1980 (with a 343 Turbo) against the Norwegian Martin Schanche (Ford Escort RS 1800) and won the Rallycross EC title.
