Penske PC-24

Automobiles

The Penske PC-24 was an open-wheel CART racing car that competed in the 1995 IndyCar season, fielded exclusively by Marlboro Team Penske. Nigel Bennett designed it, and it was powered by the 2.65 litre, 800 horsepower Ilmor-designed Mercedes-Benz IC108 engine. It scored five wins that season, four for Al Unser Jr. and one for Emerson Fittipaldi. The chassis is best remembered for a failure, because both Unser Jr. and Fittipaldi struggled to find pace on the high-speed oval at Indianapolis, and the car did not qualify for the 1995 Indianapolis 500. That embarrassment shaped the changes Roger Penske made for 1996, when the PC-25 replaced it with better aerodynamics.
