Penske PC3

The Penske PC3 was a Formula One car run by Citibank Team Penske in the 1976 season. Geoff Ferris designed it as a development of the March 751 that the team had bought to learn from, so it closely resembled that car. Two were built, and Penske made nearly everything on them in its own workshops at Poole in Dorset. John Watson tested the prototype in the autumn of 1975 and drove it in the first six races of 1976, taking a fifth place in South Africa. Of the points the team scored in 1976, two came from the PC3 and the rest from its successor the PC4, which replaced it from the Swedish Grand Prix. A PC3 was later sold to a Dutch entrant for Boy Hayje at the 1976 Dutch Grand Prix, and the cars returned to historic racing, where Paul Edwards won the 2008 Historic Grand Prix of Monaco in one.
