The ATS D5 was a Formula One racing car manufactured and raced by the Team ATS racing team during the 1981 and 1982 Formula One seasons. Originally known as the HGS1 for the 1981 season, it was updated for 1982 and designated the D5. It was powered by the Ford Cosworth DFV V8.

The D5, known initially as the HGS1, made its first appearance partway through the 1981 Formula One season at the Belgian Grand Prix, where it was driven by Slim Borgudd. However, he failed to qualify for the race as well as the following two events. At the British Grand Prix he qualified in 21st and then on went on to finish sixth. This proved to be Team ATS's only point of the year.

His first career was as a drummer, mainly in jazz-rock, most notably for short-lived groups Lea Riders Group, Made In Sweden and Solar Plexus. He has also worked with Björn Ulvaeus's group the Hootenanny Singers and ABBA, being sponsored as a Formula One driver by the latter.

In 1981, Borgudd, now 34, finally entered Formula 1 in ATS, making his debut in the San Marino Grand Prix, placing ABBA logos on the car's sidepods (although there was no cash sponsorship), a hopeful move to attract other investors. In spite of a run of non-qualifications, Borgudd managed to finish 6th in the British Grand Prix, scoring his first world championship point. In spite of the added morale boost, Borgudd failed to score any more points.
