HISTORY: Kenneth Olausson on his career and Ronnie Peterson: Just turned fifteen, I borrowed my father's box camera to photograph Formula 1 world champion Jim Clark at the Gellerås track. It was the debut. Then followed six years of wandering around the world to follow motorcycle races in Europe and the United States. In 1967 I took the photo of the year in the picture magazine "SE". In the fall of '68 I met Ronnie Peterson. The meeting became the beginning of a long friendship and resulted in me traveling to Monaco in 1969 when Ronnie broke through as WC promise. In a fraction of a second and 20,000 frames later, I had seen 48 Grands Prix with Ronnie. In 2019, I rented the Berwaldhallen for a performance in words and pictures about Ronnie Peterson Includes the 2019 40-page, signed booklet about Ronnie Peterson with Kenneth Olausson's text and pictures included.
