At 82, the Captain still has his foot on the gas

Roger Penske turns 82 today, but this legendary figure of motorsport continues to power on!

Penske's incredible legacy as a team owner is matched only by his outstanding success as a business entrepreneur.

Almost every other Sunday, the 'Captain' can be found on the pit wall of an American race track somewhere, surveying his team and drivers, devising race strategies and getting the job of winning done. Roger that!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
