Nostalgia: Penske 1999

Here is some recommended reading on a very wet and rainy Fast Friday.  For those of you that aren't aware, UK's Autosport Magazine has a great Nostalgia web forum.  There are some incredible threads on there talking about all sorts of motorsport, even going way back to the beginnings of the sport.

Today's recommended thread is a discussion on Penske's 1999 CART season.  It was a year of struggle and loss for the team.  Insight is provided by Nigel Beresford (a former Penske engineer) as well as Patrick Morgan (the son of Ilmor co founder Paul Morgan).  Included in this thread is a heavy dose of tech talk, focusing both on the last Penske built Indy Car, and the Mercedes Ilmore engines.  CART cars of the time were nipping the heels of F1 in terms of technology.  Enjoy!
