Torsten Palm is a Swedish racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1975 season. He made a single start for the Hesketh team, finishing twenty-second in that outing. His sole Grand Prix appearance placed him against the full grid of contemporary F1 drivers, among whom were multiple front-running professionals such as John Watson, Patrick Depailler, Alan Jones, and Jacky Ickx; Palm classified ahead of all four in that single race, a result that stands as the highlight of his recorded racing career.[1]
The extent of Palm's motorsport record comprises only that single Formula 1 entry. No wins or podium finishes were recorded across his racing career. With minimal data from which to assess his competitive standing, his Racer Rating of 2,965 reflects an amateur-level driver who competed occasionally at the sport's highest tier rather than as a regular professional. The circumstances of his Formula 1 opportunity and any racing activity outside the championship record are not documented here. Palm has been retired from competitive racing since 1975.[2]
