Penske PC4

Automobiles

The Penske PC4 was the last Formula One car built by Team Penske and the one that won. Geoff Ferris designed it with a low monocoque tub and hip radiators, and it replaced the PC3 from the Swedish Grand Prix of 1976. After a poor debut when the throttle stuck, the team revised its aerodynamics and lengthened the wheelbase, and John Watson then took thirds in France and Britain. At the Austrian Grand Prix he scored the car and the team its only Formula One victory, the last win for an American-licensed constructor in the series. The PC4 scored 18 points in 1976 and helped Penske to fifth in the constructors standings before the team left Formula One to concentrate on Indycar racing. Three chassis were built by Penske. ATS Racing used them for most of 1977, and Interscope Racing ran one for Danny Ongais.
