When Penske won in Formula 1

Roger Penske and John Watson don't often get together, so ANDREW VAN DE BURGT jumped at the chance to join them for a look back at their successful 1976 season

Some great bands only get together for really special occasions. Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour put their differences aside to reunite the classic Pink Floyd line-up for Live 8 in 2005, while Robert Plant was persuaded to squeeze back into his leather trousers for a one-off Led Zeppelin reunion to celebrate the life of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun in 2007.

If Roger Penske was a rock star he would surely have fronted one of the biggest bands in the world before enjoying a successful solo career during which he teamed up with a series of other legends for interesting, and commercially rewarding, side projects.
