About this event
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix has a rich history of racing through the stone-walled, tree-lined streets of Schenley Park since 1983. Fans line the snow fence to watch the races through the idyllic park setting. This is the highlight of our 10-day motorsport festival. PVGP homepage for Schenley Park Races
MINI COOPER MARQUE OF THE YEAR We are anticipating Mini Coopers and micro cars of all types to join us at Schenley Park and throughout the PVGP Race Week
MISSION The driving goal of the PVGP is to honor our automotive history by encouraging the preservation and racing of vintage cars in a format that emphasizes driver safety and etiquette while presenting a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for our drivers – all to raise valuable funds for our autism and Intellectual and developmental disability charity partners.
42nd YEAR The PVGP celebrates its 42nd year this summer. Many thanks to the racers who make this all possible and to the race side volunteers who keep everyone safe. This started as a single-day race on the Labor Day weekend in 1983 and has grown into a full two weeks of motorsport activities.
CHARITY Since 1983 our racers have shared the wheel with the PVGP in helping to donate more than $6 million to help individuals affected by autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Entry fees are suggested donations and are tax-deductible. We stage charity rides to raise funds for our charities. Your participation is appreciated. These rides provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for race fans.
TOW ONCE, RACE TWICE! Race with us at Pitt Race and the PVGP will securely store your rig in the Pitt Race paddock for the week. Then return to Pitt Race the following weekend, retrieve your rig and head down to Pittsburgh and race through the streets of Schenley Park. Enter both races and receive a $100 combination race discount. You must first enter one race (either Pitt Race or Schenley Park) to receive the discount code then use the discount code while registering for the second race.
