The Penske PC-12 was a CART open-wheel race car that Penske Racing built for the 1984 IndyCar season. From the mid-1970s Roger Penske used chassis designed and built in-house by Penske Cars in Poole, Dorset, and building your own chassis is always a gamble: a hit gives a team something no other team has for the entire season, while a miss does not. In 1984 the PC-12 was a miss, off the mark for the first two races, and Penske did not hesitate to scrap his own chassis in favour of the March customer car. For the better part of the next three seasons the team used its own chassis and the March, until 1988, when the designer Nigel Bennett created the PC-17, the car that let one team lock up the front row of the Indianapolis 500.
