Superswede (Original Soundtrack for the Film)

Soundtrack by Swedish composer Matti Bye for the acclaimed Swedish documentary film of the 1970s Formula One driver, Ronnie Peterson. Peterson, nicknamed "Superswede", was the fastest Formula One driver in the '70s although he never became a world champion; a down-to-earth working-class hero with the looks of a movie star, gifted with a talent for speed. Ronnie's incredible talent eventually takes him to the top, being the fastest driver of them all, but when he stands on the threshold of becoming a true contender for the world championship, fate intervenes one tragic September Sunday at Monza, 1978. A day when Sweden came to a standstill and the entire world held it's breath.
