The Penske PC-26 was an open-wheel racecar designed by Nigel Bennett and manufactured by Penske Cars in Poole, Dorset, which Team Penske used in the 1997 CART Championship. It was a development of the PC-25 intended to address the twitchy handling of the previous year's car. Five chassis were produced and driven by Al Unser Jr. and Paul Tracy. The engine was the Ilmor-produced Mercedes-Benz IC108D rated at 850 bhp, driving through an Xtrac gearbox in a Penske housing. Changes included revised sidepod inlets and a longer, sharper nose. It proved a formidable short oval car, and Tracy won three races in it, at Rio, Nazareth and Gateway. The Gateway win was the team's 99th and the last for a chassis built by Penske Cars.
